removing ovaries leads to weak bones?


removing ovaries leads to weak bones?
Best answer:
Removing the ovaries does not automatically lead to weak bones (osteoporosis). The various changes brought about by removing the ovaries is quite complex, and not best explained here.

One book you may want to read which I think explains how all hormones interact (including the #1 hormone - insulin) is "Entering the Zone" by Barry Sears, Ph.D.

It helped me to understand how my hormonal changes (perimenopause) interact, and what to do when the feminine hormones quit - naturally, to avoid some of the standard side effects (weak bones, etc.)I thik by removing the ovaries, you go into menopause faster. Menopause has different hormone levels than a younger woman, and it can lead to loss of bone mass.

I am having a hysterectomy in August...I am keeping just my ovaries but removing everything else....?
Best answer:
No you can still have an orgasm...Still have my ovariesYour ovaries are what produce hormones and control your sex drive, and most women orgasm clitorally. You'll be fine. One thing you will notice is that your vagina will not be as accommodating for a large penis. The cul de sac (which is a small pocket behind the cervix) will be removed, so you will not be as deep.I never heqard that and from experience, it snot true. I had a hysterectomy years ago and nothing has stopped me from having an orgasm.Can you still have orgasms after a hysterectomy? Let me put it this way. . .

YES!

YES!

YES!

I had everything removed--uterus, tubes, ovaries and cervix, and I still have orgasms and plan on having them until I die.

If you have your cervix removed, you vagina might be only 1/4" shorter than it is now. You will not notice a difference.
