➤ Why is an oophorectomy performed?
Clinicians perform oophorectomy for several reasons: treat ovarian cancer, remove large or persistent cysts, correct ovarian torsion, or reduce cancer risk in high-risk patients (for example BRCA mutation carriers). It also may accompany hysterectomy for endometriosis or severe pelvic pain. The decision balances disease control, hormonal impact, and fertility goals.
