What are the adverse effects of ovarian removal?

If some ovarian diseases are serious, you may need to pay attention to the treatment of oophorectomy. After oophorectomy, the biggest impact is the loss of fertility, especially bilateral oophorectomy, which means there is no hope of having children.

1. Infertility and premature menopause

Regarding oophorectomy, in addition to worrying about the loss of female characteristics, a common concern is whether it is still possible to have children after the ovary is removed? Generally speaking, if one ovary is removed and the other ovary is retained and still has good function, the other ovary can fully compensate and will not affect fertility at all. If one ovary is completely removed and the other is partially removed, fertility is still possible because the ovaries have greater regenerative and compensatory abilities and the damaged ovaries can still release eggs. Of course, if both ovaries are removed and egg cells cannot be produced, there will be no hope of fertility.

2. Premature ovarian failure

In addition, the impact of oophorectomy on women, in addition to the inability to ovulate normally, is also artificially early menopause, that is, premature ovarian failure, which will produce some menopausal symptoms and may make it difficult for people to adapt for a while. Although the occurrence of some gynecological tumors may be related to estrogen, it is currently believed that as long as gynecological tumor patients have completed treatment and the tumor has not recurred or has been controlled, they can undergo hormone replacement therapy under the guidance of a gynecological oncologist, which can greatly improve the quality. Therefore, younger women can undergo hormone replacement therapy after surgery to supplement a certain amount of estrogen.

3. How to maintain after ovarian removal:

1. To relieve mental stress, you can engage in some whole-body exercises, such as swimming and running, once or twice a week, 30 minutes each time.

2. Maintaining good eating habits and ensuring adequate nutrition and appropriate fat is the best protection for the ovaries.

3. Stay away from electromagnetic pollution and give the ovaries the most intimate care.
