OVARIES: Prophylactic oophorectomy In Premenopausal Women From: Hope Waltman (anonymous@obgyn.net) Sun, 20 Jul 2008 14:32:35 -0500 (CDT) Messages sorted by: [ date ][ thread ][ subject ][ author ] Next message: Hope Waltman: "INFERTILITY: Chronic Fatigue Syndrome and Infertility" Previous message: Walter Futterweit, MD, FACE,FACP: "Re: MENORRHAGIA: tissue, watery discharge, no period, negative HPT" Removing Healthy Ovaries In Premenopausal Women: No Sure Answers "For premenopausal women, the decision of whether to undergo a hysterectomy removal of the uterus is a challenging one. To make things more complex, added pressure to decide whether to remove the ovaries can arise a decision that researchers say relies more on the preferences of the woman or her surgeon than on evidence-based medicine. That single study included 362 women, who were ages 45 to 55 years when it began. Of those, 217 underwent hysterectomy alone and 106 underwent hysterectomy plus oophorectomy. The study looked at the average changes in psychological well-being and sexuality, both before and one year following the surgery." Orozco LJ, et al. Hysterectomy versus hysterectomy plus oophorectomy for premenopausal women.
