Re: If you had a hysterectomy, did you keep your ovaries?
I wish I could have kept at least one of my ovaries. But I had stage 4 Endometriosis and they both had to go. Waiting now to see how bad the surgical menopause is going to be

No, I did not keep my ovaries. At the time of my TAH, my GYN feared uterine and ovarian cancer, as I had a huge mass in my uterine which had drawn my uterus up, and a complex cyst on one ovary. I was not given the option, but would have opted to remove them anyway. BTW, all pathology reports were negative !

Re: If you had a hysterectomy, did you keep your ovaries?
I am 46, and just had my hysterectomy 4 days ago. I feel really good! We went in to surgery with the knowledge that the surgeon was taking all except ovaries, IF they were still good and working. Ends up on the right side of my body where most of my pain has been was a little cyst on my right ovary. My doctor had permission from me to do what was needed, so I now have 1 ovary, on the left.

I am 40 and the plan was to keep both ovaries. Unfortunately/fortunately the left one had a strange growth on it. Initial reports came back as benign. A week later I got a call that they found borderline cancer. For the sake of safety and prevention I had to have my remaining ovary removed as well as my omentum. All pathologies came back negative so no cancer. But now I get to enjoy medical menopause.

Kept both ovaries, doctor said they looked good and because of my age 43, he thought it best to keep them. LAVH removed uterus, cervix and tubes.

Re: If you had a hysterectomy, did you keep your ovaries?
I kept both ovaries and my tubes. I am assuming they were in good shape because my doc left them but I was so out of it after my surgery he spoke with my husband and not me. I am looking forward to seeing what he says at my two week check.
