What Is The Purpose Of Ovaries After Childbirth ?

[gordiescotland1]

I overheard my mother telling a friend about her hysterectomy she had over 30 years ago and I was quite frankly a little shocked when she told her friend the surgeons decided to leave her ovaries in. What on earth for? She had a family complete they surely are of no use to her. My mother has always been bordering on hysteria 80% of the time I always remember that in childhood and now surely if she had had her ovaries removed it might have calmed her down a bit !!

Biology not your strong suit, gordie?

The ovaries produce hormones which are still required even though the 'baby-making' function has been removed.

The ovaries secrete hormones.

I think these hormones have a lot to answer for in hysterical women !!

I'd have thought one would need a good reason to remove body parts where it wasn't a necessary part of healing the patient. One doesn't whip stuff out while you're at it.

It used to be thought that hysteria was caused by the uterus..

[gordiescotland1]

[gordiescotland1]

testosterone doesn't cause hysteria !!

[jackthehat]

So, what causes yours?

[gordiescotland1]

probably being an *** !!

[jomifl]

Some women would argue that hysteria is caused by men...
