Ovary Question

Hi Ladies

Can anyone tell me how long the Dr advises on recovery after ovary removal?

Thanks

Trish

Hi Trish, your recovery will depend alot on the type of surgery you have. Do you now what kind of surgery you will be having? It took me 6 weeks to physically recover from my BSO and I had a laprotomy. If you have it laproscopically your recovery should be less time considering you have no complications. Best wishes and

Hi Ladies
What is the recovery time for having one ovary taken out?

Thanks

Each women will have a different recovery as (((Carol))) mentioned earlier. It can depend on if you have a laparoscopy or laparotomy. Hopefully if you are facing surgery to have an ovary removed, yours can be done with a laparoscopy and you can recovery quickly!

Rule of thumb is about 4-6 weeks but it will depend on you, your surgeon, the reason for your surgery, etc. etc. etc.

Wishing you well!

Hi Weiser

Thanks for your reply....I have had a hysterectomy and all i have left is one ovary that seems to be acting up and I'm just worried that I may be facing new surgery.
Hope you have a nice day

Trish,
I had my left ovary and tube taken out last year due to pcos and it was done laparoscoptic at an outpatient facility. I was out of work for almost 2 weeks.
