Does the removal of a fallopian tube usually include the removal of the ovary?

I was having a conversation with someone today that said she had her right fallopian tube removed but I didn't want to ask her or sound rude.

Does the removal of a fallopian tube usually include the removal of the ovary?
No usually its just the tube they take, or they might have tied it depending on the situation. The ovaries have a lot to do with your horomone cycles and doctors always try to not mess with the ovaries if at all possible.
Reply:Not that I've ever heard...I think you get to keep the ovaries. Are you talking about having tubes tied? Getting a tube removed is sometimes an extreme measure for a tubal ligation that has failed.
Reply:You keep your ovaries.





You need your ovaries for proper hormone balance so docs fight to keep them in.





In a case where a whole tube was removed it was probably an ectopic pregnancy where the egg was fertilized and attached inside the tube. The tube then would have been damage beyond saving and so had to be removed... Not all ectopic ruin tubes but some do.





Or she was mistaken and she only had part removed so as to permanently end the chance of pregnancy.
