Is Recovery Time for Ovary Removal and Hysterectomy Similar?

I was diagnosed with breast cancer at 38 (12 years ago). I found out 2 years ago I was Chek2 positive along with BRCA2. I had a mastectomy in March 2019 which has greatly reduced recurrence.

I'm having surgery later this year to remove ovaries as a preventative measure.

Due to taking Tamoxifen for 10 years I have endometrial hyperplasia. I think my gynecologist will agree to hysterectomy also. If I do have a full hysterectomy is recovery time similar or will it be longer?

TIA.

I don’t know but bumping for you.

I can’t help but think a hysterectomy is a bigger op so more recovery time though.
