Ovary
The female reproductive system consists mainly of the ovaries, the fallopian tube, the uterus, and the vagina. The ovaries also play an important role in the reproductive system of each female. The two are located on both sides of the uterus in the pelvis and connect the two sides to the fallopian tube. , Each month of bleach on the rotation.
The ovary function has two main functions; the first is ovulation; it is responsible for the production of oocytes; and the second is the secretion of sex hormones. The ovary secrete estrogen and progesterone hormones. For each function, estrogen is the responsible hormone The hormone responsible for the menstrual cycle, the hormone progesterone is the hormone responsible for the formation of the lining of the uterus to receive the egg, and preparing the uterus to be ready for pregnancy if the egg fertilized, and prevents this hormone contractions of the Ham, which can affect the continuity of pregnancy, the rejection of the womb of the egg, as it contributes to stimulate the growth of blood vessels in the lining of the uterus to nourish the fetus, and has a role in the preparation of breast milk production.
Ovary bags and causes of formation
Ovarian Cysts are bags that are often filled with fluid. These bags are formed in the ovaries or on it. They can be of different sizes and sizes. These bags may be cancerous, but they are often benign and can be formed in any Time of a woman’s age, but often consist of the age of reproduction or the age of reproductive activity. If the ovaries are cancerous, they are often found in women who have reached menopause, but in general, the ovaries are usually benign, and disappear alone, especially if they do not lead to any symptoms on the patient.
Types of ovarian sores
Functional ovarian bags
They are bags that appear as a normal part of the ovary function, and as part of the normal menstrual cycle, they are usually not serious or harmful. There are different types of functional bags that can arise during the changes that occur in the ovaries each month.
- Follicular cysts: Every month, an egg is produced inside a small fluid-encased pod in the egg shell. If this follicle fails to explode at the time of ovulation, the egg passes through the fallopian tube to the uterus; the fluid accumulates in the follicle and becomes a sac.
- Yellow body bag (Corpus leteum cyst): The age of the yellow body stage of the menstrual cycle is 14 days, and the stage of the yellow body is fixed in all women at the age of the rest of the stages of the menstrual cycle, in the absence of pregnancy, but if pregnancy, the yellow body continues to secrete progesterone for 5-9 weeks, Until the yellow body decomposes at 14 weeks, and if the yellow body fails to decompose, this causes the yellow body bag to develop. The yellow body bag is usually 3cm in diameter and can cause the yellow body to burst.
- Theca-lutein cysts: This sac is the least common among the functional bags that appear in the ovaries, and is made up in pregnant women, usually consists of ovaries of pregnant women, usually also more than a bag.
Ovarian ovarian sores
These are bags produced by the abnormal growth of cells, and the proportion of these bags is less than the incidence of functional bags. They can be:
- Dermoid Cyst: The skin sac contains not only liquid but also blood, fat, bone and hair, and the larynx can grow to a large size, usually non-cancerous.
- Cystadenomas: It arises from cells that surround the egg, and can be serous or mucous. Typically, the size of the mucous cystic fibroblast increases, and reaches large volumes that squeeze the neighboring organs, while the cystic fibroblastoma usually does not swell to large volumes.
Cases leading to polycystic ovaries
- Polycystic ovarian syndrome: About 6-10% of women have PCOS. This syndrome is caused by the growth of several small, self-harmless bags in the ovaries. These bags affect and disrupt the hormones produced by the ovaries, affecting the functions of these hormones, In addition to high androgen hormone and lack or lack of ovulation.
- Endometriosis: When the tissues of the lining of the uterus grow in places outside the lining of the uterus, called endometriosis, such as tissue growth in the fallopian tube or in the ovaries or in the bladder and rectum, and can form bags filled with blood in these tissues.
