Post-Op members only: Did you keep your ovaries?

I lost my left ovary two years ago and we were going to try to save my right but I decided to leave it up to him . Good thing too......according to him out looked like a** and was bigger then my uterus which was the size of a12 week pregnancy . No wonder there was no room in there....lol .

Mine are gone, had a cyst in one and my doctors were concerned about cancer in my future

Kept one, other one had a cyst. My choice, because I wanted to avoid menopause.

I got to keep my ovaries but she did take my cervix which originally wasn't expected...

Yes

NO... I do not know the medical name, however, I had EVERYTHING removed plus lymph glands.

The dr took everything. My older sister had ovarian cancer, so keeping one would not have been a good idea, plus I was having hormonal issues before surgery, so obviously they were not working properly.

I kept the overies but had the tubes removed. Since I was pre-menopause it was recommended that I keep the overies (unless there were concerns seen during the surgery.) Physician recommended removal of the tubes as a preventative measure but leaving the overies intact.

Yes kept both ovaries
