1 in 3 Doctors Still Needlessly Removing Healthy Ovaries, Study Finds

A new study from Baystate Medical Center found that one-third of gynecologists continue to recommend removal of healthy ovaries from women undergoing hysterectomies who haven’t yet entered menopause. This goes against recommendations of their own medical society, the American Congress of Obstetricians and Gynecologists, which advises against ovary removal in pre-menopausal women undergoing hysterectomies who aren’t at increased risk of ovarian cancer.
