Possible Association of Hysterectomy Accompanied with Opportunistic Salpingectomy with Early Menopause: A Retrospective Cohort Study

Possible Association of Hysterectomy Accompanied with Opportunistic Salpingectomy with Early Menopause: A Retrospective Cohort Study

Source : https://www.mdpi.com/1660-4601/19/19/11871

Opportunistic salpingectomies (OSs) are concurrently performed with hysterectomies to prevent epithelial ovarian cancer. This study aimed to investigate the correlation between OS and early menopause in females who have undergone...


Conclusion: These results showed that a hysterectomy plus an OS might cause earlier menopause than a hysterectomy only. An OS should be preoperatively discussed with patients regarding the possibility of early menopause. The findings of this study require further large-scale investigations to reinforce the results.
