After a hysterectomy, the uterus is removed, so hormones produced by the uterus such as estrogen and progesterone will no longer be produced. However, the ovaries, which also produce hormones, are usually left intact unless a bilateral oophorectomy (removal of both ovaries) is also performed. This can lead to a decrease in hormone production, especially if the ovaries are removed.
When both ovaries are removed from a rat, the hormone that is decreased in the blood is estrogen. The ovaries are responsible for the production of estrogen, so their removal leads to a decrease in estrogen levels in the bloodstream.
estrogen
The ovaries primarily work with the uterus to regulate the menstrual cycle, release eggs for fertilization, and produce hormones such as estrogen and progesterone.
Estrogen's are produced primarily by developing follicles in the ovaries, the corpus luteum, and the placenta. Luteinizing hormone (LH) stimulates the production of estrogen in the ovaries. Some estrogen's are also produced in smaller amounts by other tissues such as the liver, adrenal glands, and the breasts. These secondary sources of estrogens are especially important in postmenopausal women. Fat cells also produce estrogen,[6] potentially being the reason why underweight or overweight are risk factors for infertility.

Estrogen and progesterone are primarily formed by a female's ovaries. Some can also be produced by the lining of the uterus, as well as a male's testes.
Not unless you have both ovaries removed (oopherectomy)
Very much depends on your age and the reason for the removal of your uterus. Yes, they can leave the ovaries, and they should continue to function normally until menopause. But, if you are approaching menopause or are having your uterus removed because of cancer, the physician may recommend removing the ovaries as well.
The two glands on either side of the uterus are called the ovaries. Ovaries are responsible for producing egg cells and hormones such as estrogen and progesterone in women. These hormones play a crucial role in regulating the menstrual cycle and reproductive functions.
The main sex hormones produced in the ovaries are estrogen and progesterone. Estrogen is responsible for the development of secondary sexual characteristics in females and regulating the menstrual cycle, while progesterone is involved in preparing the uterus for possible pregnancy.
total abdominal hysterectomy (TAH), and supracervical abdominal hysterectomy (SAH). In a TAH, the uterus and the cervix are both removed. In a SAH, only the uterus is removed. Although your ovaries may be removed during a TAH or SAH, these procedures can easily be performed without removing your ovaries.
Estrogen is produced in part by the follicles in the ovaries. Additionally, its production is helped by the placenta, and corpus luteum.
