in most cases the ovaries are also removed in a hysterectomy. if not even when you menstrate only one ovary is working not both (usually). and each time doesnt necessarily mean it the ovaries switch off "working". so yes it is possible but if it concerns you dont be afraid to consult your doctor.

∙ 6y agoProduction of egg is possible with one ovary, for sure. It does not result into any degree of infertility. However, due to hysterectomy having been performed, though the egg shall still be produced, it cannot get implanted and no fertilization either, so pregnancy is not possible and the lady cannot concieve.

∙ 10y agoIf you mean by full hysterectomy a total hysterectomy i.e. removal of the uterus and cervix then one ovary will produce the necessary hormones that two ovaries would. You will go into menopause at the time you normally would (average 51.7 yrs). Only if both ovaries are removed will you go into immediate menopause. There is some anecdotal evidence that having a hysterectomy may bring on an earlier menopause than would have occurred without.
