Hormone replacement therapy
SPC for progesterone used in hormone replacement therapy under the "therapeutic indications" section.
"Reposición en progesterona durante el curso de déficits completos en mujeres ovario privadas
(transplante de óvulos)"
I find the term "ovario privado" strange and I am having trouble understanding what it means here. Is it referring to ovary removal or to a lack of progesterone production? Any help is very much appreciated!

women without ovaries
I think that "women without ovaries" has greater currency than the literal, word-for-word translation.
See e.g.:
Women with prior bilateral oophorectomy presented with smaller tumours on average compared to women without prior oophorectomy (mean size 1.50 cm vs. 1.95 cm; p = 0.01). Additionally, although not statistically significant, women with intact ovaries were more likely to have high-grade tumour (70% vs. 54%: p = 0.10) and to have positive lymph nodes (34% vs. 18%; p = 0.11) compared to women with prior bilateral oophorectomy.

"Hormone Replacement Therapy Is Associated with Less Coronary Atherosclerosis in Postmenopausal Women"
... This would explain the unexpected observation that women without ovaries who were not currently using HRT were just as likely to have a low CAC score as women using HRT.

Endometriosis - Hysterectomy
If hormone replacement therapy (HRT) is recommended after hysterectomy and ovary removal, it is given as estrogen-only replacement therapy (ERT). (Women without ovaries do not need to take combination estrogen-progesterone HRT.) Estrogen-replacement therapy carries certain risks, including stroke and possible increased risk of breast cancer.

"Radiation dose and breast cancer risk in patients treated for cancer of the cervix"
... Among women without ovaries, there was a slight increase in breast cancer risk (RR = 1.07; 95% CI = 0.6-2.0), and a suggestion of a dose response with the RR being 1.0, 0.7, 1.5 and 3.1 for breast doses of 0, 0.01-0.24, 0.25-0.49 and 0.50+ Gy, respectively. However, this trend of increasing RR was not statistically significant. If low-dose radiation increases the risk of breast cancer among women over age 40 years, it appears that the risk is much lower than would be predicted from studies of younger women exposed to higher doses.

Note from asker:
| This is an excellent solution, thanks very much Richard. As Muriel so brilliantly puts it, this option clearly communicates the state but not how it was achieved. Thanks to you all for helping me see the wood for the trees. It’s funny, yesterday I was getting myself into a bit of a tizzy over this and I turned to my partner (who is also a native English translator, but never works on medical texts and didn’t know what I was working on) in the supermarket and said “I’m stuck on something, what does `mujeres ovario privadas´ mean?”, and he said “Um, women who don’t have any ovaries, duh!” |

: This is clear, understandable, and directly addresses the purpose of the statement. It doesn't matter how the state was achieved. The ovaries could have been destroyed by chemo.
