How Does Bilateral Oophorectomy Impact Hormonal Balance?
Removing both ovaries leads to an abrupt decline in the production of estrogen and progesterone, causing surgical menopause.

However, HRT is not always recommended for women with a history of hormone-sensitive cancers, and alternative treatments may be needed.
