Ovaries
The female reproductive system is the ovary, where it plays a large and essential role in order for the female reproductive system to perform its function. In each female there are ovaries the size and shape of the almond, the ovaries are located in the pelvis, each ovary is on the side of the uterus and the ovary has two functions; Ovulation, and the production of sex hormones. The ovaries on both sides connect to the fallopian tube. The fallopian tube is the mediator that transports eggs from ovaries to the uterus every month. An egg is produced every month from ovaries on rotation.
The ovary is responsible for the secretion of estrogen and progesterone. Progesterone is the hormone responsible for preparing the lining of the uterus to embrace the egg. The uterus is brought to the uterus for pregnancy if the egg is fertilized. This hormone prevents contractions The uterus that can affect the success and continuity of pregnancy, and also digs the growth of blood vessels in the lining of the uterus to feed the fetus, which is responsible for the readiness of the breast to produce milk, and the function of estrogen is the hormone responsible for the emergence of female sexual characteristics such as breast, It is also the hormone responsible for the menstrual cycle.
The ovary consists of an outer epithelial tissue, then the white tunic, where it surrounds the ovary and protects it. Then comes the ovary cortex, which contains the follicles containing the oocytes, the ovary of the ovary, which contains a neural network.
Treatment of the water bag on the ovary
Treatment of ovarian bags depends on three things:
- Does it cause symptoms for the patient?
- The size of the bags
- Whether women are menopausal or not, women at this age are more likely to develop ovarian cancer.
Because the bags often disappear on their own after weeks; the first step to treat ovarian bags is the observation and waiting, and should be followed by a television image.
The surgical solution can be used if the size of the ovaries is large, or if the bags cause any symptoms of the ovaries. Removal of the sacs also protects against the possibility of future malignancies. The surgical procedures that can be performed to remove the ovarian bags are As follows:
- Laparoscopy is often performed surgically. This method is often used to get rid of ovarian sores. Small openings in the abdomen are made through which the lighted abdomen is passed through, and the bags are removed. The openings are then closed by means of stitches This process causes less pain than the opening of the abdomen, and its complications are less than the complications that can occur due to the process of removing the sacs by opening the abdomen, and the speed of healing is also faster.
- Laparotomy is removed by laparotomy. This method is used if the bag is large or there is a possibility of it becoming a cancerous sac. The ovary can be removed with the sac, so the doctor needs a large opening to allow access To the cyst, healing after the abdominal opening may surgically take up to eight weeks.
Types of ovarian sores
There are several types of bags that can be made up on the ovaries; they are mainly divided into two parts: functional ovaries, ovarian ovaries, and here is a census of the bags under these two main sections:
Functional ovarian bags
Are bags that appear as a normal part of the ovary function and as part of the normal menstrual cycle, and are usually not serious or harmful. There are different types of functional bags that can arise because of the menstrual cycle during which changes occur on the ovaries. Functional ovaries can enumerate the following:
- Follicular cysts .
- Yellow body bag (Corpus leteum cyst) .
Ovarian ovarian sores
These bags are produced due to the abnormal growth of cells, and the ovarian sores are less common than the functional bags. Of the disease bags that may appear on the ovaries:
- Dermoid Cyst .
- Cystadenomas .
Cases leading to polycystic ovaries
- Endometriosis : This means the growth of endometrial tissue in places outside the lining of the uterus, as growth in the fallopian tube or ovaries or even bladder and rectum, and show the patient infected by these symptoms:
- Dysmenorrhoea.
- The abundance of menstruation.
- Pain in the pelvic area.
- sterility.
- Dysmenorrhea.
- Polycystic ovarian syndrome (Polycystic ovarian syndrome) : The result of the growth of several small bags in the ovaries, and these bags themselves are not harmful, but they affect and disrupt the hormones produced by the ovaries, which affects the functions of these hormones. About 6-10% of women with ovarian syndrome have ovaries, although the bags on the ovary are a component of this syndrome, along with the high Androgen hormone and the lack or lack of ovulation. The symptoms of this syndrome are as follows:

Diagnosis of polycystic ovaries
Because one out of every 25 women with polycystic ovaries is diagnosed with polycystic ovaries, not all patients can detect that they have a bladder on the ovary, and they remain undiagnosed, so they can discover a bag on the ovary by chance while doing pelvic examination for another reason, In any case, the presence of bags on the ovaries is diagnosed by hearing the patient’s complaint and symptoms, and the vaginal examination, in addition to the work of a picture of the ultrasound (a television image) of the basin, It can also j The doctor requested a blood test to see if the ovarian solid content to examine how high protein CA125, which could indicate the height of the presence of cancer in the ovary, knowing that the proportion of protein CA125 vary from person to person, so this is not a thorough examination.
