HYSTERECTOMY-OVARIES: Hysterectomy: Spare Ovaries, Boost Health? New Study ResultsFrom: Hope Waltman (anonymous@obgyn.net)Tue, 21 Apr 2009 20:43:37 -0500 (CDT)
Hysterectomy: Spare Ovaries, Boost Health? Ovary Removal Decreases Ovarian Cancer Risk but Increases Risk of Heart Disease and Death, Study Says "For women without a strong family history of ovarian cancer or genetic predisposition to it, these heart disease and death risks appear to outweigh the benefit of the decreased cancer risk, says William H. Parker, MD, the study's lead author and a gynecologic surgeon and researcher at the John Wayne Cancer Institute at St. John's Health Center, Santa Monica, Calif. The study is published in the May issue of Obstetrics & Gynecology. To find out, Parker and his colleagues from Harvard Medical School and numerous other institutions tracked the health outcomes of 29,380 women participants in the long-running Nurses' Health Study. All had a hysterectomy for reasons other than cancer. More than half, or 16,345, had both ovaries removed; the other 13,035 women kept their ovaries." http://women.webmd.com/news/20090421/hysterectomy-spare-ovaries-boost-health?src=RSS_PUBLIC Note: Dr. Parker is an Editorial Advisor for the OBGYN.net Fibroid Forum.
