[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There’s also removing the Fallopian tubes to reduce ovarian cancer risk. https://www.hopkinsmedicine.org/health/treatment-tests-and-therapies/salpingectomy I asked about this since I have PCOS and history of complex cysts, I worry about ovarian cancer. my OB was supportive about tubal removal, I asked to have it done during my last birth (planned C). Insurance wouldn’t pay for it at the same time as a C-section bc of unspecified risks but would pay if I went back separately. So that is kind of disappointing. Anyone out here had a salpingectomy for preventative reasons? [/quote] I have BRCA1 and had my breasts, ovaries, tubes and uterus removed preventatively. For me its been a good decision for the peace of mind i have. I still screen CA125 annually. [/quote] What about cervix?[/quote] It’s attached to the uterus so I would assume it comes out. Why wouldn’t it. It serves no purpose alone [/quote]
