What happens icon plus
When both ovaries are removed, the surgical procedure is called bilateral oopherectomy, whereas the removal of only one ovary is called unilateral oopherectomy. When both ovaries are removed, you will experience an instant and irreversible menopause. But you can manage it with hormonal replacement therapy (HRT) These procedures may be considered for a number of reasons. Because the procedure is irreversible, the advantages and disadvantages of each surgery should be discussed in full with your consultant. -
How to prepare icon plus
Like all procedures, there may be some risks and side effects involved. Your consultant will be able to explain these to you. -
