For 55-year-old women, if the patient is still not menopausal, the removal of one ovary may lead to early menopausal symptoms; for women who have already gone through menopause, there is generally no special effect. If the patient is not yet menopausal, the removal of one ovary may lead to different degrees of decline in ovarian function, so some women may experience menopausal symptoms such as irregular menstruation, amenorrhea, hot flashes and sweating. For women who have already gone through menopause, the ovaries have gradually shrunken and become smaller, and their function of secreting estrogen and progesterone has diminished, so removal of the ovaries at this time generally has no special effect on postmenopausal women. For women aged 55, if surgical treatment is needed due to uterine fibroids, ovarian cysts or malignant tumors, it is recommended that they go to the gynecology department of a regular hospital, and under the guidance of the doctor, choose the appropriate way of active treatment in order to obtain the best therapeutic effect.
