They are also the authors of the newly released book, A Woman’s Guide to Her Pelvic Floor: What the F*@# Is Going on Down There?
What the Doctors Can Say about Preventing Ovarian Cancer
and Benefits of Removing the Fallopian Tubes:
-
- It would stand to reason that ovarian cancer starts in the ovary, but in fact, most ovarian cancers start in the fallopian tubes.
- Currently, there is no effective screening test for ovarian cancer.
-
- Because removing fallopian tubes has minimal risk, the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists recommends removal of the fallopian tubes (“opportunistic salpingectomy”) when possible at the time of other pelvic surgery, such as hysterectomy, to reduce the risk of ovarian cancer.
- Not only does removing just the tubes reduce the risk of ovarian cancer, but it preserves ovarian function. The advantage of keeping ovaries in a premenopausal woman is obvious, but the advantages of keeping ovaries in a menopausal woman include decreasing the risk of death from cardiovascular disease, maintaining cognitive function, and preventing osteoporosis.
- So if a woman is having pelvic surgery such as a hysterectomy, she should definitely discuss the removal of fallopian tubes with her doctor.
