Women receive hysterectomies at the advice of their doctors or simply because they wish to no longer conceive children.

If the ovaries are left intact, women will not experience any hormone-related effects.

The Cleveland Clinic reports that a healthcare provider is likely to prescribe hormone replacement therapy to relieve these symptoms.
