Will having one ovary speed up the onset of menopause?

purple_kathryn_ni asked:


I had one of my ovaries removed several years ago due to a cyst inside it. I was assured by my Doctor that this wouldn’t affect my fertility as the remaining ovary compensates (and certainly my menstural cycle wasn’t even disrupted) but as I have no intention of having children I wasn’t overly concerned.

I have been wondering if it will mean I will go through menopause a bit early?
