Hysterectomy itself does not cause menopause.Some studies have shown that it may bring forward slightly. Removal of BOTH ovaries will result in immediate (surgical) menopause. It is the ovaries failing that causes the menopause and mean average age is 51 although this can be earlier or later

∙ 13y agoWomen with one ovary will likely go through menopause the same age as women with two ovaries.
Generally the later puberty starts, the earlier menopause starts, or the earlier puberty begins, the later menopause begins. In the US the average age is 52 years.
The transition is normally not abrupt, it tends to occur over a period of several years, from the mid to late forties to the early to mid fifties being an average start to finish. As the ovaries shut down, hormones are reduced and the monthly release of a ripe ovum stops.
The process is said to be complete after 12 cycles with no menses. If at any time a menstrual cycle resumes - the count down begins again. Many change of life babies are conceived when a woman assumes she is no longer ovulating, so she stops using birth control too soon.
