Oh my, the more I've researched prophylactic oophorectomy, the more alarmed I am that this is even recommended.

One of the research articles mentioned increased mortality rates, deleterious outcomes. Cardiac disease increase, dementia/cognitive decline, lung cancer along with osteoporosis and depression/anxiety, etc.

Another article mentioned a phantom type cancer that mimics ovarian cancer.

All risks reduced if surgery occurs after age 65.
