IMLS has taken appropriate steps to incorporate information quality criteria into IMLS information dissemination practices. 2. As a matter of good and effective agency information resources management, IMLS reviews the quality (including the objectivity, utility, and integrity) of information before it is disseminated.
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.
Ovaries may need to be removed to help reduce the presence of a dangerous condition. Endometriosis that has overgrown the ovaries may require them to be removed to prevent this car tissue from spreading further. You may also need your ovaries removed to stop the spread of ovarian cancer. Some women may also need their ovaries removed if they are at a high risk for breast cancer.
