You are right. I am changed in many negative ways since losing my ovaries (and they were healthy). Weight gain that does not respond to diet and exercise, male-looking thickness and changes to facial features, thick torso, cottage cheesy fat instead of muscle tone, no passion, no sexual enjoyment anymore, blocked artery, high cholesterol, dulled personality, joint pains, heart palpitations, feeling hot and greasy instead of cool and dry. I will forever regret having a total hysterectomy. I was a petite energetic sensual woman. I am now an overweight sluggish lumpy bag in bad health.
