Title: Ovaries question
Post by: Bobidy on December 13, 2019, 12:50:20 PM

Hi

I've just been thinking about ovaries, like you do ;)

Mine are floating about now, post hysterectomy.

Do they just shrivel up post Menopause even if I take estrogel until I'm 100?

If they do just shrivel up does that mean that there is no longer a risk of ovarian cancer?

Sorry for my ignorance, the thought just occurred to me. X

I know they get smaller as you get older Bobidy. At my last scan I was told mine were normal size for my age (55), whatever that means x

I really wish I'd asked my gyno at the time, zero point asking the doctor x
