Ovary Research Study

"While breast cancer and ovarian cancer were less frequent in women who had their ovaries removed, the overall risk of death from all types of cancer was higher among women who had their ovaries removed. When we considered just the women who never used estrogen therapy after surgery, we found that women who had removal of their ovaries had a higher risk of stroke and lung cancer, and women who had removal of their ovaries before age 50 had a higher risk of heart disease, stroke and death from any cause. " Although this site isn't identified as to source, it seems to be wholly devoted to this one study and medically sound in the information it presents

Oophorectomy Linked to Increased Risk for All-Cause Mortality

"Compared with ovarian conservation, bilateral oophorectomy at the time of hysterectomy for benign disease is associated with a decreased risk of breast and ovarian cancer but an increased risk of all-cause mortality, fatal and nonfatal coronary heart disease, and lung cancer," the study authors write. "In no analysis or age group was oophorectomy associated with increased survival."

Ovarian Conservation at the Time of Hysterectomy and Long-Term Health Outcomes

For every 24 women having bilateral oophorectomy, at least one women will die prematurely from any cause as a result of the oophorectomy.

Oophorectomy and CV Mortality

A new study has found that women who underwent preventive bilateral oophorectomy--removal of both ovaries--before the age of 45 were at increased risk of cardiovascular death some 20 to 30 years later [1]. But the results also show that this increased mortality can be attenuated by estrogen treatment (free signup required to read)

Oophorectomy Before Menopause May Raise Parkinsonism Risk

They suggest that the premature estrogen deficiency caused by the removal of the ovaries robs neurons of the protective benefits associated with the hormone, thereby raising the risk of parkinsonism and other neurologic disorders. (free signup required to read)

Hot Flashes More Likely After Bilateral Oophorectomy Than With Natural...

"Researchers have hypothesized that the increase in risk of hot flashes among women who undergo bilateral oophorectomy compared with postmenopausal women who do not undergo bilateral oophorectomy is caused by the abrupt decline in the gonadal hormone levels, including the estrogens that have been shown to be negatively associated with hot flashes in midlife women," Dr. Flaws and colleagues explain. "Women who are naturally menopausal or undergo hysterectomy in the absence of a bilateral oophorectomy also have decreased estrogen levels compared with premenopausal women; however, it is likely that the conservation of one or both ovaries provides some level of estrogen production and, therefore, a lower likelihood of experiencing hot flashes."
