The answer depends on the reason for the hysterectomy. If done for control of endometriosis, using Birth Control might make sense to decrease pain. But there is no need for pregnancy prevention after removal of the uterus, and no need for estrogen support if the ovaries are still in place.

If you mean by complete a total hysterectomy (uterus and cervix) ans a salpingo (fallopian tubes) oopherectomy (both ovaries) then yes you will immediately go into surgical menopause. If one ovaary is left then this will not place you into menopause until nature takes its due course.


Do you ovulate after hysterectomy if you have the ovaries and where do the eggs go?

Yes, if you have a hysterectomy but still have your ovaries, you can still ovulate. The ovaries will continue to release eggs, but without a uterus, those eggs do not have a place to implant and develop. Instead, the eggs either dissolve and are reabsorbed by the body or are expelled during the menstrual cycle, which may still occur if the hormonal balance is maintained.


What structures are removed during a TAH?

total abdominal hysterectomy (TAH), and supracervical abdominal hysterectomy (SAH). In a TAH, the uterus and the cervix are both removed. In a SAH, only the uterus is removed.

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.


Can you still have a period after removal of the uterus?

No. A period is caused by the buildup of endometrial tissue within the uterine cavity. Without the uterus, there can be no efflux of tissue and blood, so no period. So long as you still have your ovaries, you will have normal hormones, however. I DISAGREE. I just had a hysterectomy - removal of my uterus only - and I am spotting on the calendar day that I was due for my period. My doctor told me that it is possible that I may spot from time to time as it's difficult to remove every single uterine cell from the abdominal cavity.


Where do eggs go production hysterectomy?

In the context of egg production, a hysterectomy generally refers to the surgical removal of the uterus, which is not applicable to egg-laying animals like chickens. In commercial egg production, hens lay eggs without needing a uterus, as they have specialized reproductive systems designed for this purpose. The eggs are produced in the ovaries and then travel through the reproductive tract, where they are coated with layers of albumen, membranes, and shells before being laid. Thus, a hysterectomy is not a relevant procedure in the context of egg production in poultry.

Does removal of all your ovaries stop your period?

Actually removal of all your ovaries does stop the period. Without any eggs present, there's no reason for the uterine lining to shed since it is caused by the eggs not being fertilized in time. No eggs in the first place, no need to shed the egg + uterine lining later.


Can you have a menstrual cycle without ovaries?

No, the menstrual cycle is regulated by hormones produced by the ovaries, and without ovaries, there would be no ovulation or menstruation.
