Hi Ktg777
So sorry to hear you have the worry of surgery coming up. There are several of us on here who have had BSO so you shouldn't be short of company. I may not be the best person to chat to if you are premenopause as your post suggests, as my ovaries were removed a few years postmenopause, but I couldn't just read your post & run.
My BSO was carried out for a red flag mass discovered on ultrasound for postmenopausal bleeding on HRT. Surgery was keyhole, straightforward, with three very small incisions that healed well & I was discharged the following morning with a 5 week wait for histology results. Usually carried out as a day case but I was kept in overnight as I don't recover that quickly after general anaesthetic. Luckily for me, the mass turned out to be a benign cyst & recovery was again straightforward, though I did find I continued to need HRT & that my need for it was in some ways greater than before the surgery.
I'm assuming by "borderline" you mean the abnormalities are thought to be most likely benign, but that as with mine, absolute certainty depends on removal & analysis.
I would advise you, as CLKD has done, to contact the surgeon now, to talk about any concerns you have. You will almost certainly need HRT post-op & this will hopefully have already been advised as very sensible (depending on the nature of what's found), both for symptom relief & to safeguard your heart & bones. Women whose ovaries are removed usually need testosterone as well as oestrogen & a form of progesterone, the latter is assuming your uterus is currently intact & not being removed along with the ovaries. I'll stop at that for now as hopefully someone who's had BSO premenopause will come along shortly to chat.
Please keep posting & ask any questions - nothing is silly, nothing is taboo & everyone will just want to help. Hope all goes well with your surgery, that the wait for results is short & the outcome very good.
