Oophorectomy
OVARY REMOVAL SURGERY
Surgical removal of one or both ovaries
Need to know
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.
Like all procedures, there may be some risks and side effects involved. Your consultant will be able to explain these to you.
Your consultant will let you know when you can get back to your normal routine, including work or exercise.
