Understanding Menstruation & Ovulation After Bilateral Ovariectomy

Neither menstruation nor ovulation will occur after a bilateral ovariectomy, which is the surgical removal of both ovaries.

Without ovaries, the production of these hormones ceases, leading to the absence of menstrual cycles and the inability to ovulate.
