Ovarian Conservation: Long-Term Health Outcomes From the Nurse's Health Study.


We are conducting a prospective, observational study of 32,175 women participants of the
Nurse's Health Study who had a hysterectomy with or without removal of both ovaries. We are
evaluating mortality and morbidity due to the following conditions: coronary heart disease,
stroke, breast cancer, ovarian cancer, other cancer, hip fracture and death from all causes.

with both ovaries removed.

hysterectomy, or those who had oophorectomy before hysterectomy were excluded.
