Early removal of ovaries, especially before age 40, can impact women’s brain health, according to a recent study. Researchers found that women who undergo oophorectomy before menopause are at a higher risk of reduced white matter integrity in their brains as they age. This can lead to cognitive impairments and neurological issues. The study analyzed data from the Mayo Clinic Study of Aging and found that women who had both ovaries removed before age 40 had significantly reduced white matter integrity. Further research is needed to understand the link between white matter changes and cognitive impairment in women who undergo oophorectomy.
