Very much depends on your age and the reason for the removal of your uterus. Yes, they can leave the ovaries, and they should continue to function normally until menopause. But, if you are approaching menopause or are having your uterus removed because of cancer, the physician may recommend removing the ovaries as well.

Yes. Cancer can occur in any organ, not just the uterus.
