I do not believe so.
My personal experience was in my late 40s with a uterine fibroid. My Ob/gyn suggested a partial hysterectomy due to the size of my fibroid .
No outward incision, all done via the uterus . My ovaries were left intact so that I could go through menopause naturally in the future.
All went well. I was relieved and felt much better after the initially post surgery healing process . Best wishes .
