Will my body still produce estrogen, progesterone, FSH, and LH even if I have my uterus removed and I have not hit menopause? I really need to know. Thanks Smile

Do you still have your ovaries? Those are the hormone producers, not the uterus.

The ovaries produce estrogens and progesterone. Other glands such as the pituitary and hypothalamus in the brain secrete hormones such as FSH (follicle stimulating hormone) and LH (luteinizing hormone) that control how much estrogen and progesterone are produced by the ovaries.
