Is it left ovary works after hysterectomy?

It depends on the type of hysterectomy that is performed.

Total hysterectomy:

- In a total hysterectomy, both the uterus and cervix are removed.

- If both ovaries are also removed, it is called a total hysterectomy with bilateral oophorectomy.

- If one ovary is removed and the other is left in place, it is called a total hysterectomy with unilateral oophorectomy.

- If only the uterus is removed, leaving at least one ovary intact, the ovaries will continue to function normally and produce hormones.

Subtotal hysterectomy:

- In a subtotal hysterectomy, only the body of the uterus is removed, while the cervix is left in place.

- Both ovaries will remain in place.
