Delayed Periods, Polyp In Cervix, Ovaries Are Dead Need To Be Removed. Pros And Cons Of This Procedure?
I m a 56 year old woman with my last menstrual period 2/2011. I still have hot flashes that are manageable. At my annual doctor s visit I was told I had a polup (sp?) in my cervix that required removal in the hospital and at the same time I should have my ovaries removed also. He said my ovaries are dead now and to prevent ovarian cancer in the future, he recommends their removal. What are the pros and cons of this procedure?
