A total hysterectomy is only the removal of the uterus and cervix and therefore as the ovaries remain menopause will take its normal course. Average age is 51.7 years but can be earlier or later. If you have a bilateral oopherectomy, then you will be placed in immediate surgical menopause as there are no ovaries to produce estrogen. Speak to your doctor/surgeon regarding hormone replacement and its advantages and disadvantages.
