What are the reasons for ovary removal? Does it affect female hormone levels?
Best answer:
It could have been due to a cyst. If the cyst is too big and invades the ovary then the ovary needs to be removed. She still has the other ovary, which will produce eggs as well. The ovary will produce hormones as well. To get more answers on fertility consult with a Dr.The main reason is due to a cyst. She will still be able to have a child as long as her other ovary and tube are working properly.umm. harsh periods!!!!Ovary removal does have an effect on hormone levels. She may need to be on a low dose replacement. She will still ovulate from the remaining ovary so she still is able to get pregnant. However since the egg release alternates from one ovary to the other month to month she may only ovulate every other month. So a period every other month.I was just researching this myself. The reason could be due to - cancer, dead ovary, or cysts. I am trying to find out myself if what it would do to my hormones & if the one one ovary can produce enouph estrogen on its own. As for the reason why you GF had the surgery you will have to talk to her to find out what the cause was.

How many different types of surgery are there for ovary removal?
Best answer:
Well, if you do not have laproscopic surgery, the ovary could be removed vaginally or thru an abdominal incision. If cancer is suspected, I am sure the surgeon would want a good view of the surrounding area and the ability to collect biopsies if necessary. I believe this is difficult with the vaginal approach. The laproscopic approach avoids an abdominal incision. The gas used is removed at the end of the surgery. The gas does not enter your bowel, so you do not have gas in your bowel after the surg. Really need to talk to the surgeon and drill him til you feel absolutely clear on the details. Hope you do well.I'm assuming that you're having your ovary removed for cystic disease rather than for cancer as no surgeon would likely perform an ovarian cancer operation as a laparoscopic procedure. If the surgery is to remove a single ovary, it can either be done open or laparoscopically. If you are having a hysterectomy performed with it, it can be done vaginally.
Numerous studies have been done comparing laparoscopic approaches with open approaches to surgery. Laparoscopic surgery is associated with longer operating times, but shorter hospital stays and less postoperative pain. I don't do many GYN cases, but the laparoscopic cases I do typically result in much less pain than open procedures. After a laparoscopic surgery, the gas is evacuated from the abdominal cavity. A small residual amount may remain and this can irritate the diaphragm causing referred pain to the shoulders typically. This usually resolves in a day or two as the gas is reabsorbed by your body. Incisional pain from a large incision is usually much worse than the pain from retained gas in the peritoneal cavity.
If ovarian cancer is suspected, you will need an open surgery with total hysterectomy and removal of the ovaries with lymph node sampling and debulking of metastasized tumor. This doesn't really sound like what you've got, though.
