“…11 These controversies cause different surgical approaches between clinicians on same the patient, and a study has shown that there is a large variation and uncertainty in the practice of prophylactic oophorectomy in the UK and Ireland. 12 Premature menopause and bilateral oophorectomy in young women are associated with an increased incidence of CVD, myocardial infarction, and overall mortality. Observational studies suggest an interval of 5 to 10 years between loss of ovarian function and the increased risk of CVD.…”

“…4 Lately, hysterectomy rates are also decreasing due to better availability of alternative methods. 5 But in spite of large number of potential alternatives to hysterectomy for benign diseases, hysterectomy rates have remained relatively stable because it is associated with higher rates of patient satisfaction than other methods. 6 The aim and objective of the study was to investigate the clinical benign indications of hysterectomy, choice of Finally, all operated specimens were subjected to histopathological examination.…”
