What can I expect from having ovaries removed and surgical menopause?
What can I expect from having ovaries removed and surgical menopause?
My doctor is wanting to take out my right ovary. (The only ovary I have left.) I had emergency surgery to remove my left one due to an 11 cm cyst 3 years ago. I continue to have large and very painful cysts on my right.

Sex no longer hurts which is great as it had been a few years since my husband and I had sex but I can no longer orgasm. Well I can but it is maybe… read more
