I m 48 and recently had one ovary removed with de Vinci hysterectomy. It s been one week. I feel great. I ve never had children and I m concerned about having less estrogen now. Prior to the surgery I did hrt for 2.5 months and breasts and abdomen were very bloated so I stopped. I eat very healthy so do I have to take estrogen?

Hi As only one ovary is removed you do not have to take any estrogens ,because your one remaining ovary will be functioning
