What Are the Implications of Gynecological Surgeries on the Skeletal System?
Gynecological surgeries, such as [hysterectomy]() or oophorectomy, can have implications for the skeletal system. The removal of ovaries can lead to a sudden drop in estrogen levels, accelerating bone loss and increasing the risk of osteoporosis. Post-surgical management should include strategies to mitigate bone loss, such as hormone replacement therapy or calcium and vitamin D supplementation.
