Removal of ovaries with hysterectomy 'warrants caution in under-50s'
A conservative approach may avoid premature mortality in younger women having hysterectomy for non-malignant reasons, researchers suggest
Premenopausal women who undergo bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy at the time of non-malignant hysterectomy may be at greater risk of all-cause death, researchers say.
