Above poster is correct if ovaries have cysts that keep returning, endometrial tissue adhearing them to other organs, these are reasons for removal...otherwise its in your best interest to preserve.
One thing to think about is if ovarian cancer runs in family,,you should discuss with Dr as its very difficult to detect ovarian cancer with out uterus/cervix...until its usually stage 4 and that is bad.

Depends on the reason for a hysterectomy. The ovaries are usually left because it delays menopause but if cancer is involved then ovaries will also be removed.
