Sometimes this is done during a hysterectomy (surgery to remove the uterus), especially if there's a medical reason to lower the risk of cancer or manage severe health problems like endometriosis. Inline content unavailable
What happens after surgery?
If both ovaries are removed, your body stops making key hormones like estrogen and progesterone. This causes menopause to start right away, no matter how old you are. You may have symptoms like:
Hot flashes
Mood changes
Vaginal dryness
Night sweats
Trouble sleeping
These symptoms can come on suddenly and may be more intense than with natural menopause.
