An Ovary issue
Hi Becky,
I had a few people who had previously had hysts suggest I have my ovaries taken at the same time (had tah/bso) to avoid future surgery for ovarian problems. I talked to my dr. about this and I believe she put the odds of having to have my ovaries taken out later at about 10%. However, my ovaries were sputtering at best anyway - I had taken hormones at times in the past to try to help with my problems, and didn't have any problems with them, so we decided to go ahead and remove ovaries also. I'm only going on 3 weeks post op - but haven't had any hormone issues as of yet and hope to avoid HRT.
Best wishes and big hugs!!
Julie
