(You might be better off asking in general health, rather than contraception).

I doubt there is a minimum age, and it would surely depend on what condition leads to the recommendation.

NHS Choices page on hysterectomy. As Stella says, it depends on the condition. Looks as if on average it's performed on women between 40 and 50.
