How long do ovaries work after hysterectomy?
Answered by Samruddhi Bhartiya
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!

Answered by Dr. Nisarg Patel
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.
