Oophorectomy is performed for ovarian cancer, large or complex ovarian cysts, endometriosis severely affecting the ovaries, ovarian torsion cutting off blood supply, or as a preventive measure in women with a high genetic risk of ovarian cancer, such as BRCA mutation carriers. It may involve removing one ovary or both, depending on the extent and nature of the disease.

Signs You May Need Oophorectomy

Warning signs include persistent pelvic pain or pressure, abdominal bloating, changes in bowel or bladder habits, and in cases of torsion, sudden severe one-sided pelvic pain with nausea and vomiting. Because early ovarian cancer often causes vague symptoms, unexplained pelvic discomfort that persists for weeks should prompt gynecologic evaluation.

Types of Oophorectomy

Unilateral oophorectomy removes just one ovary, preserving natural hormone production and fertility potential from the remaining ovary, while bilateral oophorectomy removes both ovaries, typically for cancer treatment or high-risk prevention, and induces surgical menopause if performed before natural menopause. The procedure can be done laparoscopically for most benign and early cancer cases, or through open surgery when more extensive cancer removal is needed.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will removing both ovaries put me into menopause?

Yes, if you have not already gone through menopause, removing both ovaries causes immediate surgical menopause with symptoms like hot flashes, which your doctor can help manage with hormone therapy if appropriate.

Can I still have children if only one ovary is removed?

Yes, the remaining ovary typically continues to release eggs and produce hormones normally, so fertility is usually preserved after unilateral oophorectomy.

How long is recovery after oophorectomy?

Laparoscopic oophorectomy typically allows recovery within one to two weeks, while open surgery for more extensive disease may take three to six weeks for full recovery.

Is preventive oophorectomy recommended for everyone with a family history of ovarian cancer?

It is generally reserved for women with confirmed high-risk genetic mutations after genetic counseling, since it is a significant decision affecting hormone levels and fertility that should be discussed with a specialist.

What are the long-term effects of losing both ovaries?

Besides menopause symptoms, there can be increased long-term risks like bone density loss and cardiovascular changes, which is why hormone replacement therapy is often discussed, especially for younger women.
