Mayo Clinic neurologist and epidemiologist, and lead study author, proposes two possible theories to explain the increased risk: 1) low estrogen due to the ovary removal leads to decreased protection of a woman’s brain from cognitive decline, or 2) the ovariectomy is innocent and variations in the genes a woman is born with dictate the need for ovary removal and also prompt development of dementia or cognitive impairment. ❋ Unknown (2007)
Sterilization procedures (spay, ovariectomy or ovariohysterectomy for females, neuter or castration for boys) can actually be darn pricey when they're not heavily subsidized by your tax dollars or by private foundations. ❋ Unknown (2010)
The current treatment is often not sufficient to get women who have ovariectomy through the age of natural menopause, especially if the surgery is performed at a young age. ❋ Unknown (2007)
As for me, I want to take any test that'll help zero in on my odds of developing breast or ovarian cancer, knowing that I'll gain information to help me make impactful health decisions (e.g. if the test showed the mutation, I could be more diligent with self breast exams or, more drastically, choose a pre-emptive mastectomy or ovariectomy). ❋ Unknown (2008)
Because of this interrelationship between the pituitary and the gonads, the failure of the pituitary to hold up its end is as surely asexualizing as castration or ovariectomy would be. ❋ Asimov, Isaac (1963)
Those dogs not intended for breeding should be sterilized (ovariectomy or ovariohysterectomy) before their first estrus (heat). ❋ Unknown (2011)
Ovarian hormone removal by ovariectomy in mice leads to a loss of muscle strength, which is reversed with 17β-estradiol replacement. ❋ PLoS ONE (2010)
Because cost is almost always an important factor in how medical treatments are administered, a laparoscopic ovariectomy brings several considerations to bear. ❋ Unknown (2010)
"It may even be that the long-term need for drug therapy could equal the cost of something like an ovariectomy," Brown said. ❋ Unknown (2010)
Fiona was a recent rescue, and her caretakers at the horse sanctuary wanted to remove any breeding potential before offering her out for adoption; therefore, they elected to have Adams and Brown perform a laparoscopic ovariectomy. ❋ Unknown (2010)
She did some research and checked with her veterinarian, and when an ovariectomy was suggested, Crofutt decided that, by removing Fiona's ovaries, the horse would not only be more appealing to a potential adoptive owner, but would also "help offset a larger problem, which is an overpopulation of horses." ❋ Unknown (2010)
Laparoscopic assisted ovary removal (ovariectomy) was performed with Eveleen standing sedated with local anesthesia. ❋ Unknown (2010)
This procedure is known as a laparoscopic ovariectomy, and it is performed at the center with Ligasure, a medical device that allows the surgeons to remove an ovary efficiently, and with almost no risk of bleeding. ❋ Unknown (2010)
Mare: - granulosa cell tumours are the most common neoplasm in the mare, and the most common indication for ovariectomy - ovary palpates 10-40 cm; unlike cow, it tends to stop growth in size at about 40 cm Clinical Signs Vary: - male-like 45% - anestrus 30% - nymphomania 25% ❋ Janny0759 (2010)
For Shertzer, Eveleen's owner, the laparoscopic ovariectomy might have offered the best overall option. ❋ Unknown (2010)
Another horse, Fiona, also recently underwent a laparoscopic ovariectomy at the equine medical center, but for reasons that were quite different from Eveleen's. ❋ Unknown (2010)
In one published familial case, the mother of a 46, XY boy with anorchia who also harbored a p. Val355Met mutation in NR5A1 underwent left ovariectomy and homolateral fallopian tube ablation for ovarian cysts at the age of 22 years and subsequently had two spontaneous miscarriages, an outcome that suggests impaired ovarian function. ❋ Unknown (2009)
All [women] should undergoe Ovariectomy so they can [stop] [bitching] for once. ❋ Tacowithpeanutbutter11 (2022)
