Old Aged, Hysterectomy Scheduled. Advantages Of Having Ovaries Removed?

Yes please...I am 72 and having a hysterectomy soon, what are the advantages of having my ovaries removed? AT this stage of the game are there any hormones still releasing or is that game over. I respect my body and all it has done for me....4 children used that uterus as a sanctuary and it has served me well. However, it is ready to retire now (as well as I am).
