Dr. Berga discusses the risks associated with ovary removal before age 45.
Dr. Berga:
So, there was a study that just was done. It’s actually a really interesting study and it’s called a prospective observational trial and it looks like women who have their ovaries removed as prophylaxes against further disease before age 45 have an increased risk of death, of Parkinson’s disease and possibly even dementia.
