Actually removal of all your ovaries does stop the period. Without any eggs present, there's no reason for the uterine lining to shed since it is caused by the eggs not being fertilized in time. No eggs in the first place, no need to shed the egg + uterine lining later.

Where in the human body are eggs made?

The ovary is the organ in the female body that is responsible for releasing eggs each month. The eggs are made when a female is forming as a baby in her mother's womb. She is born with all of the eggs she will ever have, and they stay in her two ovaries, being released each month starting in puberty.


What is an ovary?

An ovary is part of the female reproductive system, and is generally located in the pelvis of female mammals. Human females normally have two ovaries. The ovaries release egg cells, called ova. From birth, the ovaries contain all the egg cells a woman will ever release, though immature. The ovaries also produce two hormones, estrone (a type of estrogen) and progesterone. To be technical, the ovaries produce two precursors to estrone, and the conversion to estrone takes place in the bloodstream. These hormones are responsible for female secondary sexual characteristics such as breasts and soft skin. Along with the uterus, the ovaries are also partly responsible for the menstrual cycle. Once a female has sex and a sperm cell reaches an egg cell in whichever fallopian tube it is in, she will get pregnant. Otherwise, the egg cell and the lining of the uterus dies and is discharged from the body through the vagina. In botany, an ovary is an oval thing in a flower, and it is what later turns into fruit.


If some arm hair was burned or cut off what controls the regrowth so that it grows back to the same length as the rest of the hair on the arm?

The length of all of your body hair, including arm hair is controlled by the growing cycle. A hair strands growth cycle consist of: a growing period a resting period falling out and start of new growth period with a new hair strand. The length of the growing period is fixed for each type of hair (like arm hair). The hairs grow a certain amount every day during the growth period and then stop growing. When they stop growing they are all the same length since they have grown the same amount each day for the same number of days. Usually the hairs on your arm (or leg or head) are in a mixture of different periods; otherwise all the hair would fall out at the same time. This is why the hair on your legs looks thinner after you have shaved them; only the hairs in the growing period start growing right away.

There are several types of hysterectomy. Hysterectomy is removal of uterus. Total hysterectomy is uterus and cervix. Additionally the fallopian tubes (salpingo) and ovaries (oopherectomy) may be removed so, a total hysterectomy with unilateral(one) or bilateral (both) salpingo oopherectomy would be all the reproductive organs apart from the vagina. Radical hysterectomy also removes lymph nodes when cancer has spread beyond the fallopian tubes.

Can you still produce eggs after partial hysterectomy and have one ovary?

Hysterectomy is removal of your uterus. Ooectomy is removal of your ovaries. If your ovaries were left when they did the hysterectomy (quite common these days), yes, you can still produce fertile eggs, no problem. If your uterus is gone, though, there's nowhere for the eggs to go. If you still have fallopian tubes, you'd still be at risk for ectopic pregnancy.


If you become pregnant while on your period does the bleeding stop?

Having sex during your period will make the bleeding appear a lot lighter or stop completely. It's nearly impossible to conceive while on your period because there simply isn't an egg in your ovaries...or in the correct position to be fertilized. Your period doesn't always become lighter or just stop after sex during your period. Mine tend to become heavier and a lot more. There is also a chance of getting pregnant while on a period, but it all comes down to your menstrual cycle. Meaning your period and ovulation time can overlap making it likely that you can become pregnant while on. There is a small possibility of your period stopping if your overlap (period and ovulation) is at the start of a period. Because sperm can live up to 3-5 days the egg can be fertilized near the beginning which could cause the egg to not be released.
