The hormones affected by oophorectomy are estrogen and progesterone.
The gland affected by oophorectomy is the pituitary gland.
Step-by-step explanation:
- Oophorectomy is a procedure to remove one or both ovaries. It is done to prevent ovarian cancer or endometriosis.
- The ovaries make most of the body's estrogen. when ovaries are removed there will be a sudden drop in the estrogen levels. To tackle it, estrogen therapy is given.
- Due to the disruption of the Hypothalamus ovary connection. the Pituitary gland produces more Follicle-stimulating hormone (LSH), Luteinizing hormone (LH), Gonadotropins.
