Re: Post-Oophorectomy questionFrom: rhonda (anonymous@obgyn.net)Tue Jan 30 21:24:40 2001
I had a hysterectomy at 43 that left me with my overies. I have since had a burst ovarian cyst that landed me in the hospital and now have tons of pain on the other ovary that the dr. thinks is likely endo. I say remove both of my ovaries so i have no more pain! Is that a bad idea? As I read these messages it sounds as though keeping the ovaries at all costs is what you all recommend. Any comments?
