What happens to your ovaries if you only have your uterus removed? I heard your ovaries still shut down? Is it true?

I know if you have your uterus and your ovaries removed then you immediately go through menopause. But if your uterus is removed and they do not remove your ovaries, then do they still work? Do they still produce estrogen until you go through menopause naturally?
