Abstract

The effects of hysterectomy--oophorectomy and life stress in regard to physical and psychological discomfort were investigated. Oophorectomized women reported more physical complaints and more frequent loss of sexual interest than a control group of cholecystectomized women. No differences between the groups were seen as regards general discomfort, anxiety and depression. In both oophorectomized and cholecystectomized women life stress contributed to general discomfort, anxiety and physical complaints.
