How long do eggs stay vital after hysterectomy?

After a hysterectomy, the viability of eggs depends on whether the ovaries were removed. If the ovaries are intact, eggs remain viable until menopause, typically occurring between ages 45 and 55. If the ovaries are also removed in a procedure called oophorectomy, egg viability ceases immediately. In either case, the hormonal environment and overall health can influence egg quality and fertility potential.
