Fertility After Unilateral Salpingo-Oophorectomy: What to Expect
Removing one fallopian tube and ovary (unilateral salpingo-oophorectomy) eliminates fertility on that side. However, natural conception is still possible with the remaining ovary and fallopian tube, provided they are healthy and functional. Ovulation alternates between ovaries, so pregnancy can occur in cycles when the remaining ovary releases an egg.
If you plan to conceive, discuss your specific situation with a fertility specialist to assess tubal patency and ovarian reserve.
