How would the loss of an ovary affect a woman's fertility?

The loss of an ovary can impact a woman's fertility, but many women can still conceive with one functioning ovary. The remaining ovary can often compensate by releasing eggs and producing hormones. However, depending on the woman's overall reproductive health and age, the loss may reduce her chances of conception and could affect menstrual cycles. In some cases, the underlying reason for the ovary's loss may also influence fertility outcomes.
