I just had someone email me today to ask the question if she should have her ovaries removed or not because she needs to have her uterus removed. The doctors have suggested that they remove the ovaries at the same time.
You have to weight all of the factors.
Why are you having your uterus removed, should be your first question.
Then, you need to do your homework from there.
In my case, I did not need my ovaries removed but was scared into it. I was told that 20% of women will come back with ovarian cancer after having a partial hysterectomy.
Has this happened to any of you? I'd love to know.
