Will a total hysterectomy also remove the ovaries?

Patient's question:

I have cervical lesions. I had surgery on May 17, 2012, at Linyi Second Central Hospital.

Doctor's answer:

Hysterectomy is the surgical removal of the uterus along with the cervix. Radical hysterectomy involves the removal of the uterus, both fallopian tubes, and ovaries, as well as the upper part of the vagina. Hysterectomy can be performed through the abdomen or the vagina; the former is called abdominal hysterectomy, while the latter is called vaginal hysterectomy. The occurrence of gynecological diseases not only affects women's health but can also lead to the development of gynecological conditions. Therefore, it is best to visit the gynecology department of a hospital for an ultrasound examination to identify the cause and receive targeted treatment. In daily life, attention should be paid to dietary adjustments, consuming light and easily digestible foods, and avoiding spicy, irritating, and cold foods.
