What happens if a woman has her ovaries removed?

When a woman develops ovarian cancer or ovarian inflammation, she must undergo certain ovarian treatments. If the disease cannot be controlled and continues to develop, it may cause tumors. Therefore, when a woman has her ovaries removed, it will cause problems with her normal physiological functions, such as ovulation and reproductive functions.

Ovaries are important sex glands in women. They can produce ovulation and secrete sex hormones. They are in charge of sexual characteristics. Sex hormones only promote the maturation of sexual organs and produce sexual characteristics such as breast bulge and pelvic width. Sex hormones can only act on menstruation and reproductive function. The value of ovarian sex is unknown.

The ovaries maintain sexual function, menstruation, and pregnancy. Premature ovaries or ovarian development, thin body, breast development, uterus, menstruation, infertility. Ovaries are removed during puberty. Secondary sexual characteristics have matured. The adrenal cortex continues to produce estrogen, but can still maintain a plump and symmetrical curve. Due to the loss of endometrial hormone cycle regulation, menstruation can occur spontaneously and fertility can be achieved.

The sex of the ovary is of great significance. Gynecologists should be cautious when considering whether to perform ovarian surgery or retain the ovaries. Gynecologists will make comprehensive considerations based on the patient's age, tumor nature, and fertility status. If the tumor is benign, the doctor will try to perform ovarian tumor removal surgery to preserve the ovarian tissue as much as possible. If the tumor is malignant, the doctor will retain the ovarian tissue.

In fact, in addition to ovulation, oophorectomy also has the effects of early menopause (that is, premature ovarian failure) and some menopausal symptoms that can make it difficult to adapt. Although the occurrence of some gynecological tumors can be related to estrogen, it is currently recognized that gynecological tumor patients should complete treatment, tumor recurrence or have been controlled, that is, gynecological tumor doctors should guide hormone replacement therapy to improve the quality. Therefore, younger women should undergo hormone replacement therapy after surgery to supplement a certain amount of estrogen.
