Hysterectomy with Preservation of both Ovaries does not Result in Premature Ovarian Failure

Abstract: This study investigated ovarian function and adnexial pathology following total abdominal hysterectomy with preservation of both ovaries compared with that in a control group. Data from 29 patients who had undergone total abdominal hysterectomy at age < or =40 years and 42 menopausal patients with no previous ovarian pathology were evaluated retrospectively. The mean (+/- SD) age of menopause was 49.7 +/- 1.5 years in the total abdominal hysterectomy group and 50.1 +/- 1.3 years in the control group; this diff… Show more

“…We were also able to adjust for a wide range of potential confounders. We excluded women with hysterectomy or hysterectomy with unilateral ovariectomy from the current analysis because not all women with these surgeries have lower estrogen levels than other women with POF [40], [41]. However, some limitations of this study must be considered.…”

“…This also helped in controlling many potential confounders such as socioeconomic, demographic, and lifestyle factors. It was also possible to exclude women who had undergone hysterectomy, since women with this surgery have lower estrogen levels than other women who have attained premature or early menopause naturally 54 . However, the study also comes with drawbacks owing to the nature of the data, which were cross‐sectional, and the limitations of recall bias of the last menstrual cycle.…”

The possibility of more confounders should not be ignored, but the study controlled for all possibilities to get the best estimates.…”

“…Beyond these immediate surgical complications, hysterectomy for uterus donation may also have long-term medical consequences that affect quality-of-life. For example, despite some disagreement in the literature (Atay et al 2007), premenopausal women may be at increased risk for ovarian failure after hysterectomy and may require hormone replacement therapy for early menopause (Ahn et al 2002) (Chan et al 2005) (Moorman et al 2011) (Nahás et al 2003). There may also be some risk of sexual dysfunction after hysterectomy.…”
