Does removing one ovary have any impact?

Ovarian cysts are a common disease in life, and for women, they are also a serious disease. If women do not continue to receive treatment for ovarian cysts, they may not ovulate, resulting in infertility. In severe cases, the ovary may need to be removed. However, if only one side has a problem, only one can be removed. So what are the effects of removing one ovary?

Pregnancy is a probabilistic event, and having sex during the ovulation period undoubtedly increases the possibility of conception. Suggestions: It is recommended that you have sex during the ovulation period. In addition, you can place a pillow under your buttocks after having sex, which will also increase the probability of conception. To know the specific ovulation situation, you can use ovulation test strips or ultrasound to monitor the follicles.

After one ovary is removed, if the other ovary is retained and has no problems and has good function, then the impact will be relatively small; if the other ovary functions poorly, the impact will be relatively large.

The ovary is the organ that produces eggs. Removing one ovary reduces the chance of pregnancy by half, and it is also easy to affect the function of the other ovary in secreting estrogen and progesterone. Six sex hormone tests and B-ultrasound monitoring of ovulation should be done to eliminate factors that affect pregnancy.

Guidance: After one ovary is removed, if the other ovary is retained and has no problems and good function, then the impact will be relatively small; if the other ovary functions poorly, the impact will be relatively large.

What are the effects of removing the ovaries?

1. Easy fracture

Bone loss is likely to occur after oophorectomy, so the risk of fracture is high. Therefore, women who have had their ovaries removed should pay attention to calcium supplementation and increase bone density. They should also protect themselves and reduce the chance of fractures.

2. Vaginal dryness

The vaginal wall becomes thinner, secretions decrease, and vaginal dryness and pain are more likely to occur during sexual intercourse. In this case, using contraceptive cream can increase lubrication and reduce pain.

3. Complete removal of both ovaries will lead to infertility

Does removing the ovaries mean infertility? This cannot be generalized. Women have bilateral ovaries. Generally speaking, if one ovary is removed and the other ovary is retained and still has good function, then the remaining ovary can fully compensate and will not affect fertility. If one ovary is completely removed and the other is partially removed, the ovary still has a great regenerative and compensatory ability, and the remaining ovary can still release eggs, so fertility is still possible. Of course, if both ovaries are removed, there will be no egg cells left and fertility will naturally be hopeless.

4. Headache, dizziness and other physical discomfort

Some people tend to appear old, haggard, have difficulty controlling their emotions, and become easily agitated after having both ovaries removed. In addition, physical discomfort such as headache, dizziness, and tinnitus may also occur. However, after a doctor's examination, no physical abnormalities were found. Experts said that this situation occurred because the hormones in the body were disrupted after the ovaries were removed, and the body could not adapt immediately. These conditions can be improved simply by supplementing estrogen.
