The ovaries may or may not have been removed after a hysterectomy-an operation in which the uterus is taken out but it depends on what type of this procedure was. If the ovaries are kept, they stay at the inner side of pelvic cavity or on its wall. They are generally linked by ligaments and vessels that supply them with blood, providing a stable location in the pelvic region. These ligaments hold the ovaries in place and supply them with blood. If ovary is also taken out during the operation (oophorectomy), surgeon will andingly detach ligaments along with blood vessels to keep area attached for avoiding any complicacy. The particulars vary, depending on the surgical approach and specific patient factors talked about by a health care professional with the deciding individual.

After a hysterectomy, if the ovaries are preserved, they remain attached to the blood supply and supportive structures within the pelvic region. Specifically, the pelvic sidewall through ligaments such as the ovarian ligament and suspensory ligament. These ligaments, along with blood vessels, provide the necessary support and connection for the ovaries to continue functioning and producing hormones.

After a hysterectomy, the ovaries may or may not be removed depending on the type of hysterectomy. If the ovaries are left in place, they remain attached to the pelvic sidewall and are typically connected to blood vessels called the ovarian vessels.

- The fallopian tubes connect the ovaries to the uterus and abdomen (suspensory ligament for connecting the abdomen).
- But after uterus removal (hysterectomy procedure), your surgeons reattach your ovaries to the fallopian tubes itself.
- Post hysterectomy, your small and large intestines, will move to occupy most of the space that your uterus once occupied.
Hope this answers your question!
Since hysterectomy tends to leave your abdomen hanging, thus you can combine this procedure with a tummy tuck as well!
