Bilateral ovariectomy is performed for several reasons, including:
Ovarian cancer: To prevent the spread of cancer or as a prophylactic measure in women with a high risk of developing ovarian cancer. Endometriosis: To alleviate severe pain and symptoms that do not respond to other treatments. Pelvic inflammatory disease (PID): To manage chronic infections that have not responded to other treatments. Benign ovarian tumors or cysts: When these cause significant symptoms or have the potential to become malignant. Elective reasons: As part of gender-affirming surgery for transgender individuals.
