Ovaries will continue working even after you undergo a hysterectomy.
But to understand how they will function, read ahead!
- If you are left with either one or both of your ovaries intact, then chances are that you will experience menopause within 5 years after the operation.
- Ovaries continue to make significant levels of testosterone & androstenedione, at least until you turn 80.
- Ovaries also produce small amounts of estrogen for approximately 20 years after menopause.
- Muscle and fat cells convert testosterone and androstenedione into additional estrogen.
- Lack of sufficient estrogen production:
- Leads to premature ovarian failure.
- Hormone replacement therapy (HRT) usually reduces menopausal symptoms post-hysterectomy.
Hope this answer solves your doubts!
Since hysterectomy leave your abdomen hanging, thus you can overcome same with a tummy tuck as well!

Answered on 23rd May '24
If the uterus is removed, as in a hysterectomy with preservation of ovaries, they usually work normally until natural menopause. But this may differ from person to person and the surgical approach. You should talk to your gynecologist and with the surgeon that did your surgery for details about you case. They will inform patients about post-surgery ovarian function recovery.

Headache and have yellow mucous
Male | 18
Headaches and yellow mucus often suggest a sinus infection. Sinuses get blocked, causing head pressure and pain. Yellow mucus indicates your body is fighting an infection. Try using a humidifier, drinking water, and saline nasal sprays. If the mucus doesn't clear, see a doctor.

What to expect 4 months after hysterectomy?
Male | 45
After a hysterectomy, the recovery period will significantly improve after four months. Most women find less pain, better movement and back to normal life. Hormonal changes may still occur, and emotions about the transformations occurring in reproductive health might not settle. It is important to make regular follow-up appointments with your Doctor for monitoring of overall well being and addressing any concerns that might be developed during the recovery process.

Hi, Can a Stem cell transplant cure HIV?
Stem cell therapy seems to have a very promising future. But trails are still on, in different parts of the world. As on today stem cell therapy is not approved by FDA for HIV. Still consult a HIV specialist. Refer this page - Hiv Counselling doctors in Mumbai, or that of any other city nearest to you.

How to sit after hysterectomy?
Female | 43
After a hysterectomy, sitting is merely the time to facilitate your recovery. Do not proceed with the bend-over technique – use your legs to squat and rise. Pick sturdy chairs with high backs and armrests. Avoid the heavy lifting, forcing pain and take regular breaks. Talk to your doctor for customized recovery plan with particular recommendations as to the proper posture. Pay attention to your body and try focusing on gentle motions along with relaxation.

Recently one week back i got tetanus shot due to small cut on my leg..the leg is fine now but i think the tetanus injection didn't get through well,i got bump on my back and its still not healing .There are no signs of any pain but is this a matter to bother is my concern.
Male | 20
I understand you’re worried about the bump at the site of your tetanus shot. It’s normal to have a bump there, and it might take some time to heal. Your immune system is reacting to the vaccine as if it were a foreign substance. If there’s no pain or redness, it’s usually not a cause for concern. Just be patient, and the bump should go away on its own. However, if you notice any unusual symptoms, it's best to seek medical advice.

I am 35 years old a female patient. Few days back I was undergone a surgery for repairing Harnia in Bangladesh. Doctor has cut most of the part of belly button without any consent of me or my gurdian. Now I am stable but I am bit concern of my future health as one the most important part of my body (belly button) was missed.
Female | 35
Hearing about your missing belly button might be disconcerting, but be confident that your health will not be affected because of it. Your navel does not take part in your health's normal job, so you should be fine. Anyway, however, always watch for any discomfort or abnormality, such as pain or swelling in that specific area. If you do notice something different then you should consult a doctor.

Polydactyl is a condition characterized by presence of extra digits in the hand, foot or both
It needs a surgical removal. For a child of 9, it can be done under general or spinal anesthesia and may need a day's anesthesia.
Will need to see the child to see if tendons or bones will need any alignment, cost can be quoted thereafter.

How to sit on toilet after hysterectomy?
Female | 32
After a hysterectomy, especially initially, be gentle with your movements. Before sitting, ensure you have adequate support, such as handrails or a nearby sink or counter to assist you. Keep your movements slow and controlled.

Hello, I had pancreas surgery a month ago. I just wanted to know if I can go swimming and ride water slides after a month of surgery? The surgery was only 3 small cuts.
Female | 25
After a pancreas surgery, one should be more mindful that the person should not stay longer in the water and especially not undertake swimming and water slides that are heavy on the internal organ part and can be the cause of some complications. Allow your surgical wounds to heal and do not perform water activities for 2 to 3 months. It's quite natural to feel tensed and it's the right approach to not indulge in these things until you are fully healthy again.
