Experts Ponder Association Between Oophorectomy and Dementia

women who underwent a bilateral oophorectomy before menopause had close to a 2-fold increased risk for not only dementia but also parkinsonism, compared with those who did not have the surgery. The risk was also greater among those who had their ovaries removed and who stopped taking estrogen therapy before the age of 50 years. Women who underwent the procedure but who received estrogen-replacement therapy (ERT) until at least the age of 50 years returned to normal risk (free signup required to read)
