If the ovaries are surgically removed, a woman does not have a natural source of estrogen, and she enters surgical menopause, which can also be early menopause. Early natural menopause, on the other hand, occurs if a woman stops getting her period and her estrogen production drops before she is 45.
Removal of one ovary still allows a woman to continue to menstruate and to have children, as long as the remaining ovary is not damaged. When both ovaries are removed, menstrual periods stop, a woman can no longer become pregnant, and estrogen and progesterone are no longer produced by the reproductive system.
