Menopause after fallopian tube removal during hysterectomy
Part of Cancer, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This study looks at how removing the fallopian tubes during a hysterectomy affects menopause symptoms and hormone levels. If you qualify, researchers will compare your experience with others to see if this surgery has any impact on menopause.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This trial studies whether an “opportunistic salpingectomy” (removing fallopian tubes) during sterilization changes when menopause happens. It compares people who have this procedure to those who get different sterilization (tubal ligation) or none.
This study looks at whether removing the fallopian tubes at the same time as weight-loss surgery can help prevent ovarian cancer. If you join, during your bariatric surgery, your surgeon would also remove your fallopian tubes.
This study looks at removing the fallopian tubes during gallbladder surgery to help prevent ovarian cancer. It is for people who are done having children and are already having their gallbladder removed.
This study looks at removing fallopian tubes during other planned surgeries to help prevent ovarian cancer. You may be able to join if you are at least 45 years old, are female or assigned female at birth, and are having non-gynecologic surgery (like gallbladder or hernia repair).
This study looks at the safety of removing your fallopian tubes first (RRS) and delaying ovary removal (oophorectomy) to lower cancer risk. It focuses on women who carry certain inherited gene changes, and may help avoid earlier menopause for some people.
This study looks at how much opioid pain medicine people need after having their fallopian tubes removed through small incisions (laparoscopic or robotic salpingectomy). It aims to see if the usual pain medicine can be reduced to decrease opioid use.
