I had a hysterectomy and o-rectomy, meaning EVERYTHING was removed, when I was 29. I am now 45! Yes, removing the ovaries puts you into menopause, but only if they do not put you on HRT the next day to prevent that from happening. I still take HRT so I will not go into menopause until the dr feels it is time for me to do so!

I had PCOS, back before they really knew anything about it. My ovaries were covered with cysts, I never ovulated and I had horrible pelvic pain that they could not get a handle on. WHEN I had my periods, they were extremely heavy, lasted a long time and were so painful. The hysterectomy was the best thing they could've done for me. Those parts didn't work properly, couldn't reproduce and hurt like crazy, they had to go!! That pain ended when those parts were removed
