Interesting video explaining removal of Fallopian TUBES rather than ovaries

Channel 7 News has just shown this clip on reducing the chance of Ovarian Cancer by up to 80% - by removing the Fallopian TUBES rather than the actual ovaries.

It may be suggested if a woman is already undergoing other abdominal surgery, eg weight loss surgery.  (It is not usually done as a standalone surgery - tho TBH, I am not sure why, as they already do Ovary removal as a standalone procedure.)

It does not bring on Menopause! Check it out! 

If there is Ovarian Cancer in your family history - maybe discuss it with your GP/Specialists/Surgeon?
