    The hormones affected by oophorectomy are estrogen and progesterone.

    The gland affected by oophorectomy is the pituitary gland.

    Explanation:

    Oophorectomy is a procedure to remove one or both ovaries. It is done to prevent ovarian cancer or endometriosis. The ovaries make most of the body's estrogen. when ovaries are removed there will be a sudden drop in the estrogen levels. To tackle it, estrogen therapy is given. Due to the disruption of the Hypothalamus ovary connection. the Pituitary gland produces more Follicle-stimulating hormone (LSH), Luteinizing hormone (LH), Gonadotropins.
