Explanation:
This isn't an answer, just an interesting piece of history about the origin of the word hysterectomy one of my college professors told me: apparently the ancients Greeks (around the time of Aristotle more or less) physicians equated the uterus with the female's monthly ocurrences of "hysteria." Consequently, removal of the uterus (necessarily with the ovaries, in this case) was a way of removing the "hysteria" that afflicted them, thus constituting a hysterectomy.

take that as you will.
