Depends.: If you have a family history of ovarian cancer then you should consider having your ovaries removed. If you have menopause symptoms, recurrent cysts or other problems related to your ovaries then you may consider removing your ovaries. This would cause menopause and likely cause some symptoms. Need to have a detailed discussion with your doctor to help you decide what is best.

See your gyn: This could be just hormonal but tubal ligations can fail and when they do your risk for an ectopic pregnancy is high. Please see your gyn.
