Your Information
Your choices are:
Have your uterus removed, but keep your ovaries (hysterectomy only).
Have both your uterus and your ovaries removed (hysterectomy with oophorectomy).
The decision whether to have your ovaries removed when you have a hysterectomy takes into account your personal feelings and the medical facts.
What is the reason you are considering undergoing a hysterectomy?
Before making this decision every woman should watch the brief video “Female Anatomy: the Functions of the Female Organs” at http://www.hersfoundation.org/anatomy
