Abstract :

Hysterectomy is the most common non–obstetrical surgical procedure among women. An unresolved concern with hysterectomy is whether it increases risk for early menopause. More than half of all hysterectomies are performed on women younger than age 44, with the highest rates among women aged 40 to 44 years. The majority of women having pre–menopausal hysterectomies retain at least one ovary because of evidence that the physical and psychological benefits derived from keeping the ovaries outweigh the possibility of ovarian pathology, including cancer. Of women aged 50–54 years who underwent a hysterectomy, 78% also had a synchronous bilateral salpingo–oophorectomy (BSO). We have reported a case of huge ovarian tumour post vaginal hysterectomy done for uterine prolapse
