Pathological processes of the OVARY.

Inflammation of the OVARY, generally caused by an ascending infection of organisms from the endocervix.

General term for CYSTS and cystic diseases of the OVARY.

A condition observed in WOMEN and CHILDREN when there is excess coarse body hair of an adult male distribution pattern, such as facial and chest areas. It is the result of elevated ANDROGENS from the OVARIES, the ADRENAL GLANDS, or exogenous sources. The concept does not include HYPERTRICHOSIS, which is an androgen-independent excessive hair growth.

A complex disorder characterized by infertility, HIRSUTISM; OBESITY; and various menstrual disturbances such as OLIGOMENORRHEA; AMENORRHEA; ANOVULATION. Polycystic ovary syndrome is usually associated with bilateral enlarged ovaries studded with atretic follicles, not with cysts. The term, polycystic ovary, is misleading.

The transmission of traits encoded in GENES from parent to offspring.

The reproductive organ (GONADS) in female animals. In vertebrates, the ovary contains two functional parts: the OVARIAN FOLLICLE for the production of female germ cells (OOGENESIS); and the endocrine cells (GRANULOSA CELLS; THECA CELLS; and LUTEAL CELLS) for the production of ESTROGENS and PROGESTERONE.

Techniques for the artifical induction of ovulation, the rupture of the follicle and release of the ovum.

Tumors or cancer of the OVARY. These neoplasms can be benign or malignant. They are classified according to the tissue of origin, such as the surface EPITHELIUM, the stromal endocrine cells, and the totipotent GERM CELLS.

Broad ligament twin pregnancy following in-vitro fertilization. (1/346)

We report the first case of an ectopic twin pregnancy in the broad ligament following in-vitro fertilization and embryo transfer in a patient with a previous ipsilateral (left) salpingo-oophorectomy. The previous surgery was for endometriosis. We discuss the possible contribution of the embryo transfer technique, limitations of preventive measures and importance of transvaginal ultrasound in establishing the diagnosis. (+info)

Transvaginal sonographic ovarian findings in a random sample of women 25-40 years old. (2/346)

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the occurrence rate of adnexal lesions in premenopausal women. METHODS: A random sample of women 25-40 years old was invited to undergo a transvaginal ultrasound examination, and 335 women were examined. The criteria used to define an adnexal lesion were either a cystic lesion with its largest diameter of at least 25 mm within the pelvic region, or the appearance of solid parts in any lesion regardless of size. RESULTS: Adnexal lesions were found in 26/335 cases, (7.8%) (95% confidence interval (CI), +/- 2.9%). The occurrence rate of ovarian cysts was 22/335 (6.6%) (95% CI, +/- 2.7%). There were no differences between the women with or without ovarian cysts related to age, smoking habits, parity or body mass index. At follow-up 3 months later, 18 of the 22 (82%) cysts had disappeared (95% CI, +/- 16%). Women using progesterone contraception (either oral contraception or an intrauterine device with levonorgestrel) had a significantly higher relative risk of 2.7 (95% CI, 1.1-6.9) of functional cysts as compared to women with natural cycles. Polycystic ovaries were found in 10.2% (95% CI, +/- 4.2%) of the women not using any hormonal contraception. The mean volumes of the polycystic ovaries were significantly larger compared to those in natural cycles. CONCLUSION: Adnexal lesions are common in asymptomatic women in the age group 25-40 years, but four out of five ovarian cysts disappeared spontaneously after 3 months. The ultrasound appearance of the cyst, the woman's family history and her own feelings must be considered if a persisting cyst is to be surgically removed or followed by repeated transvaginal ultrasound.

Prenatal diagnosis of fetal adrenal masses: differentiation between hemorrhage and solid tumor by color Doppler sonography. (3/346)

We present four cases of fetal adrenal masses detected by routine prenatal ultrasound, of which three were adrenal hemorrhages and one was a fetal neuroblastoma. The differential diagnoses of fetal adrenal mass include adrenal hemorrhage, neuroblastoma, adrenal and cortical renal cysts, pulmonary sequestrations, duplication of the renoureteral system and Beckwith-Wiedemann syndrome. These can pose a diagnostic and therapeutic dilemma. A systematic comparison of the pre- and postnatal sonographic features including color Doppler imaging may help to differentiate adrenal hemorrhage from neuroblastoma prenatally. (+info)

Expression of oestrogen receptor-alpha and -beta in ovarian endometriomata. (4/346)

The contribution of oestrogen receptor (ER) isoforms, ER-alpha and ER-beta, in oestrogen-dependent development and growth of ovarian endometriomata, is unknown. Therefore, we examined the expression of ER-alpha and ER-beta in ovarian endometriomata and normal uterine endometrium. ER-alpha and ER-beta were shown to be dominantly expressed in the nuclei of the epithelial lining cells of ovarian endometrioma and of the glandular cells of normal uterine endometrium. ER-beta was expressed at a much lower level than ER-alpha in the glandular cells of normal uterine endometrium, while ER-beta was expressed at a slightly lower level than ER-alpha in the epithelial lining cells of ovarian endometrioma. In normal uterine endometrium, ER-beta mRNA was expressed at a much lower level than ER-alpha mRNA, and the expression pattern of ER-beta mRNA during the menstrual cycle was similar to that of ER-alpha mRNA. On the other hand, ER-beta mRNA expression was significantly higher and over a much greater range in ovarian endometriomata (P < 0.05) than in normal uterine endometrium during the menstrual cycle, while ER-alpha mRNA expression was relatively lower and more random. Therefore, in ovarian endometriomata, oestrogen action via ER-alpha cascades seems to be partially damaged, as the expression of ER-alpha mRNA does not respond to endocrinological alterations during the menstrual cycle, while the relative over-expression of ER-beta might be related to a unique oestrogen-dependent growth and spreading of ovarian endometriomata.

Laparoscopic diagnosis and management of ovarian torsion in the newborn. (5/346)

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: The application of laparoscopic techniques in the surgical management of neonatal ovarian cysts is proving valuable both as a diagnostic tool and a potential therapeutic intervention. We report the successful management of a prenatally diagnosed ovarian cyst in a newborn female and provide operative evidence for the presumptive etiology of the cyst. METHODS AND RESULTS: A prenatally diagnosed ovarian cyst was managed using 5 mm laparoscopic instruments in a newborn female. The prenatal ultrasonographic and operative findings are consistent with in utero adnexal torsion with subsequent autoamputation and cystic degeneration of the ovary. The orphaned ovarian cyst was removed from the infant's abdominal cavity by enlarging the camera port incision. DISCUSSION: The application of laparoendoscopic procedures in infants and children continues to evolve with the availability, of microinstrumentation and increasing experience among pediatric surgeons. This approach may prove valuable in the diagnosis and management of prenatally diagnosed ovarian cysts. In addition, further insight into the etiology of congenital ovarian cysts may be obtained. The safety and efficacy of this approach in these infants remains to be fully evaluated. (+info)

The real incidence of extracapsular (satellite) cysts of liver echinococcus. (6/346)

BACKGROUND: The presence of extracapsular (Satellite) cysts in liver echinococcus granulosus is known for many years. In one of our previous studies of radiological (CT) material they were found to be present in 16% of cases. METHODS: In the present study the operative findings, in cases of total capsectomy (cystopericystectomy) or partial lobectomy are presented. RESULTS: The real incidence of these cysts in operative specimens was as high as 29,5%. They were present in 15 out of 51 totally excised cysts. CONCLUSIONS: We conclude that satellite cysts are present more often than they are radiologically detected. As they can be incriminated as a cause of recurrence of the disease they must be excised en block with the main parasitic cysts, by means of more radical procedures such as cystopericystectomy or partial hepatectomy, whenever it is feasible.

Pelvic abscess in the second half of pregnancy after oocyte retrieval for in-vitro fertilization: case report. (7/346)

We describe a very late manifestation of pelvic abscesses after oocyte retrieval for in-vitro fertilization (IVF). In a twin pregnancy achieved after intracytoplasmic sperm injection, rupture of bilateral ovarian abscesses occurred at the end of the second trimester. An emergency laparotomy was necessary because of an acute abdomen. This complication led to severe maternal and neonatal morbidity, preterm birth and neonatal death. The rare occurrence of acute abdomen in pregnancy due to pelvic infection and the non-specific symptoms of a pelvic abscess after oocyte retrieval for IVF are discussed. (+info)

Three-dimensional power Doppler sonography: imaging and quantifying blood flow and vascularization. (8/346)

OBJECTIVES: To assess the feasibility of imaging low-velocity blood flow in adnexal masses by transvaginal three-dimensional power Doppler sonography, to analyze three-dimensional power Doppler sonography data sets with a new computer-assisted method and to test the reproducibility of the technique. METHODS: A commercially available 5-MHz Combison 530 ultrasound system was used to perform three-dimensional power Doppler sonography transvaginally. A cube (= volume of interest) was defined enclosing the vessels of the cyst and the Cartesian characteristics were stored on a hard disk. This cube was analyzed using specially designed software. Five indices representing vascularization (the vascularization index (VI) or blood flow (the flow index (FI)) or both (the vascularization-flow index (VFI)) were calculated. The intraobserver repeatability of cube definition and scan repetition was assessed using Hartley's test for homogeneous variances. Interobserver agreement was assessed by the Pearson correlation coefficient. RESULTS: Imaging of vessels with low-velocity blood flow by three-dimensional power Doppler sonography and cube definition was possible in all adnexal massed studied. In some cases even induced non-vascular flow related to endometriosis was detected. The calculated F value with intraobserver repeated Cartesian file-saving ranged from 0 to 18.8, with intraobserver scan repetition from 4.74 to 24.8 for VI, FI 1, FI 2 and VFI 1; for VFI 2 the calculated F value was 64. The interobserver correlation coefficient ranged between 0.83 and 0.92 for VI, FI 1, FI 2 and VFI 1; for VFI 2 the correlation coefficient was less than 0.75. CONCLUSION: Vessels with low-velocity blood flow can be imaged using three-dimensional power Doppler sonography. Induced non-vascular flow was detected in endometriotic cyst fluid. Three-dimensional power Doppler sonography combined with the cube method gave reproducible information for all indices except VFI 2. These indices might prove to be a new predictor in all fields of neoangiogenesis. The clinical relevance remains to be determined. (+info)

Ovarian diseases refer to a range of conditions that affect the function and health of the ovaries, which are the female reproductive organs responsible for producing eggs (oocytes) and female hormones estrogen and progesterone. These diseases can be categorized into functional disorders, infectious and inflammatory diseases, neoplastic diseases, and other conditions that impact ovarian function. Here's a brief overview of some common ovarian diseases:

1. Functional Disorders: These are conditions where the ovaries experience hormonal imbalances or abnormal functioning, leading to issues such as:
* Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS): A condition characterized by hormonal imbalances that can cause irregular periods, cysts in the ovaries, and symptoms like acne, weight gain, and infertility.
* Functional Cysts: Fluid-filled sacs that develop within the ovary, usually as a result of normal ovulation (follicular or corpus luteum cysts). They're typically harmless and resolve on their own within a few weeks or months.
2. Infectious and Inflammatory Diseases: These conditions are caused by infections or inflammation affecting the ovaries, such as:
* Pelvic Inflammatory Disease (PID): An infection that spreads to the reproductive organs, including the ovaries, fallopian tubes, and uterus. It's often caused by sexually transmitted bacteria like Chlamydia trachomatis or Neisseria gonorrhoeae.
* Tuberculosis (TB): A bacterial infection that can spread to the ovaries and cause inflammation, abscesses, or scarring.
3. Neoplastic Diseases: These are conditions where abnormal growths or tumors develop in the ovaries, which can be benign (non-cancerous) or malignant (cancerous). Examples include:
* Ovarian Cysts: While some cysts are functional and harmless, others can be neoplastic. Benign tumors like fibromas, dermoids, or cystadenomas can grow significantly larger and cause symptoms like pain or bloating. Malignant tumors include epithelial ovarian cancer, germ cell tumors, and sex cord-stromal tumors.
4. Other Conditions: Various other conditions can affect the ovaries, such as:
* Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS): A hormonal disorder that causes enlarged ovaries with small cysts. It's associated with irregular periods, infertility, and increased risk of diabetes, high blood pressure, and heart disease.
* Premature Ovarian Failure (POF): Also known as primary ovarian insufficiency, it occurs when the ovaries stop functioning before age 40, leading to menstrual irregularities, infertility, and early onset of menopause.

It's essential to consult a healthcare professional if you experience any symptoms related to your reproductive system or suspect an issue with your ovaries. Early detection and treatment can significantly improve the prognosis for many conditions affecting the ovaries.

Oophoritis is a medical term that refers to the inflammation of one or both ovaries. It is often caused by an infection, which can be bacterial, viral, or fungal in nature. The infection can spread to the ovaries from other parts of the reproductive system, such as the fallopian tubes or the uterus.

Oophoritis can cause symptoms such as pelvic pain, abdominal cramping, irregular menstrual bleeding, and fever. In some cases, it may lead to complications such as infertility or chronic pelvic pain. Treatment typically involves antibiotics to clear the infection, as well as pain relief medications and anti-inflammatory drugs to manage symptoms.

It is important to note that oophoritis can be a serious condition, especially if left untreated. If you are experiencing any symptoms of oophoritis, it is important to seek medical attention promptly.

An ovarian cyst is a sac or pouch filled with fluid that forms on the ovary. Ovarian cysts are quite common in women during their childbearing years, and they often cause no symptoms. In most cases, ovarian cysts disappear without treatment over a few months. However, larger or persistent cysts may require medical intervention, including surgical removal.

There are various types of ovarian cysts, such as functional cysts (follicular and corpus luteum cysts), which develop during the menstrual cycle due to hormonal changes, and non-functional cysts (dermoid cysts, endometriomas, and cystadenomas), which can form due to different causes.

While many ovarian cysts are benign, some may have malignant potential or indicate an underlying medical condition like polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS). Regular gynecological check-ups, including pelvic examinations and ultrasounds, can help detect and monitor ovarian cysts.

Hirsutism is a medical condition characterized by excessive hair growth in women in areas where hair growth is typically androgen-dependent, such as the face, chest, lower abdomen, and inner thighs. This hair growth is often thick, dark, and coarse, resembling male-pattern hair growth. Hirsutism can be caused by various factors, including hormonal imbalances, certain medications, and genetic conditions. It's essential to consult a healthcare professional if you experience excessive or unwanted hair growth to determine the underlying cause and develop an appropriate treatment plan.

Polycyctic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) is a complex endocrine-metabolic disorder characterized by the presence of hyperandrogenism (excess male hormones), ovulatory dysfunction, and polycystic ovaries. The Rotterdam criteria are commonly used for diagnosis, which require at least two of the following three features:

1. Oligo- or anovulation (irregular menstrual cycles)
2. Clinical and/or biochemical signs of hyperandrogenism (e.g., hirsutism, acne, or high levels of androgens in the blood)
3. Polycystic ovaries on ultrasound examination (presence of 12 or more follicles measuring 2-9 mm in diameter, or increased ovarian volume >10 mL)

The exact cause of PCOS remains unclear, but it is believed to involve a combination of genetic and environmental factors. Insulin resistance and obesity are common findings in women with PCOS, which can contribute to the development of metabolic complications such as type 2 diabetes, dyslipidemia, and cardiovascular disease.

Management of PCOS typically involves a multidisciplinary approach that includes lifestyle modifications (diet, exercise, weight loss), medications to regulate menstrual cycles and reduce hyperandrogenism (e.g., oral contraceptives, metformin, anti-androgens), and fertility treatments if desired. Regular monitoring of metabolic parameters and long-term follow-up are essential for optimal management and prevention of complications.

Heredity, in medical terms, refers to the passing on of genetic characteristics from parents to their offspring through the transmission of genes. These genes carry the information that determines many traits, such as eye color, hair color, height, and certain health conditions. Heredity plays a significant role in understanding the causes of various diseases and disorders, as some are strongly influenced by genetic factors. However, it's important to note that environmental factors can also interact with genetic predispositions to influence the expression of these traits.

An ovary is a part of the female reproductive system in which ova or eggs are produced through the process of oogenesis. They are a pair of solid, almond-shaped structures located one on each side of the uterus within the pelvic cavity. Each ovary measures about 3 to 5 centimeters in length and weighs around 14 grams.

The ovaries have two main functions: endocrine (hormonal) function and reproductive function. They produce and release eggs (ovulation) responsible for potential fertilization and development of an embryo/fetus during pregnancy. Additionally, they are essential in the production of female sex hormones, primarily estrogen and progesterone, which regulate menstrual cycles, sexual development, and reproduction.

During each menstrual cycle, a mature egg is released from one of the ovaries into the fallopian tube, where it may be fertilized by sperm. If not fertilized, the egg, along with the uterine lining, will be shed, leading to menstruation.

Ovulation induction is a medical procedure that involves the stimulation of ovulation (the release of an egg from the ovaries) in women who have difficulties conceiving due to ovulatory disorders. This is typically achieved through the use of medications such as clomiphene citrate or gonadotropins, which promote the development and maturation of follicles in the ovaries containing eggs. The process is closely monitored through regular ultrasounds and hormone tests to ensure appropriate response and minimize the risk of complications like multiple pregnancies. Ovulation induction may be used as a standalone treatment or in conjunction with other assisted reproductive technologies (ART), such as intrauterine insemination (IUI) or in vitro fertilization (IVF).

Ovarian neoplasms refer to abnormal growths or tumors in the ovary, which can be benign (non-cancerous) or malignant (cancerous). These growths can originate from various cell types within the ovary, including epithelial cells, germ cells, and stromal cells. Ovarian neoplasms are often classified based on their cell type of origin, histological features, and potential for invasive or metastatic behavior.

Epithelial ovarian neoplasms are the most common type and can be further categorized into several subtypes, such as serous, mucinous, endometrioid, clear cell, and Brenner tumors. Some of these epithelial tumors have a higher risk of becoming malignant and spreading to other parts of the body.

Germ cell ovarian neoplasms arise from the cells that give rise to eggs (oocytes) and can include teratomas, dysgerminomas, yolk sac tumors, and embryonal carcinomas. Stromal ovarian neoplasms develop from the connective tissue cells supporting the ovary and can include granulosa cell tumors, thecomas, and fibromas.

It is essential to diagnose and treat ovarian neoplasms promptly, as some malignant forms can be aggressive and potentially life-threatening if not managed appropriately. Regular gynecological exams, imaging studies, and tumor marker tests are often used for early detection and monitoring of ovarian neoplasms. Treatment options may include surgery, chemotherapy, or radiation therapy, depending on the type, stage, and patient's overall health condition.

Imagine a world where we can identify the triggers and risk factors that lead to ovarian cancer, and take preventive measures to reduce its incidence. (markethealthbeauty.com)
What Causes Ovarian Cancer? (markethealthbeauty.com)
Genetic mutations and inherited gene mutations, such as BRCA1 and BRCA2, have been identified as significant contributors to the development of ovarian cancer. (markethealthbeauty.com)
When these genes are mutated, they can lose their ability to control cell growth effectively, leading to an increased risk of ovarian cancer. (markethealthbeauty.com)
Women who inherit mutations in BRCA1 or BRCA2 have a substantially higher risk of developing ovarian cancer compared to those without these mutations. (markethealthbeauty.com)
In fact, it is estimated that women with BRCA1 mutations have a 35-70% lifetime risk of developing ovarian cancer, while those with BRCA2 mutations have a 10-30% lifetime risk. (markethealthbeauty.com)
Genetic testing can play a crucial role in identifying individuals with inherited gene mutations associated with ovarian cancer. (markethealthbeauty.com)
Additionally, some women may choose to undergo risk-reducing surgeries, such as prophylactic bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy (removal of the ovaries and fallopian tubes), which can significantly reduce the risk of ovarian cancer. (markethealthbeauty.com)
Early detection is also crucial in improving the outcomes of ovarian cancer. (markethealthbeauty.com)
Genetic testing can help identify individuals at high risk, enabling them to be more vigilant about the signs and symptoms of ovarian cancer. (markethealthbeauty.com)
By seeking medical attention promptly if any suspicious symptoms arise, such as persistent bloating, pelvic or abdominal pain, difficulty eating or feeling full quickly, or frequent urination, individuals can increase their chances of detecting ovarian cancer at an earlier, more treatable stage. (markethealthbeauty.com)
Genetic mutations and inherited gene mutations like BRCA1 and BRCA2 play a significant role in the development of ovarian cancer. (markethealthbeauty.com)
By identifying high-risk individuals, appropriate measures can be taken to manage risk and improve outcomes in the fight against ovarian cancer. (markethealthbeauty.com)
The delicate balance of hormones within a woman's body has been found to have an influence on the risk of developing ovarian cancer. (markethealthbeauty.com)
Understanding the impact of hormone-related factors, such as hormone replacement therapy, oral contraceptives, and reproductive history, can provide insights into ovarian cancer development. (markethealthbeauty.com)
However, studies have shown that long-term use of certain types of HRT, particularly those that contain estrogen alone or estrogen combined with progestin, may slightly increase the risk of ovarian cancer. (markethealthbeauty.com)
On the other hand, the use of oral contraceptives, also known as birth control pills, has been associated with a reduced risk of ovarian cancer. (markethealthbeauty.com)
Research has shown that the use of oral contraceptives for several years can significantly decrease the risk of developing ovarian cancer. (markethealthbeauty.com)
We previously showed that tumor-free peritoneum of patients with epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC) exhibited enhanced expression of several inflammatory response genes compared to peritoneum of benign disease. (biomedcentral.com)
Epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC) results in 5 year survival rates of only 25-30% for patients with stage III and IV disease [ 1 ], contrasting with the 90% survival rates of patients with stage I disease, where notably peritoneal and serosal disease is absent. (biomedcentral.com)
Categorizing genes on the basis of annotated gene function led to our observing that genes associated with inflammation were overexpressed in non-tumor bearing peritoneum of patients with ovarian cancer as compared with the peritoneum of patients with benign ovarian tumors. (biomedcentral.com)

Little is known about how high-grade serous ovarian cancer develops. (ovariancanada.org)
Now that we know high-grade serous ovarian cancer starts in the fallopian tubes, it's clear that we need a model that shows how the disease develops," he says. (ovariancanada.org)
Dr. Yamanaka is this year's recipient of the Pat McDonald Research Award , part of an operating grant co-funded by Ovarian Cancer Canada and the Cancer Research Society. (ovariancanada.org)
With this support, Dr. Yamanaka and his team at McGill University's Rosalind and Morris Goodman Cancer Research Centre will explore how high-grade serous ovarian cancer first starts and eventually spreads into the ovaries. (ovariancanada.org)
Right now, no one knows how this kind of ovarian cancer originates. (ovariancanada.org)
But this funding will help us answer questions such as: how the cancer cells initially form in the fallopian tubes, and whether we can catch early stage high-grade serous ovarian cancer before it spreads," he says. (ovariancanada.org)
While relatively new to the study of ovarian cancer, his approach is informed and guided by knowledge he's earned from studying fertilization and early embryo development. (ovariancanada.org)
As I learned about the origins of high-grade serous ovarian cancer and how little is known about this disease, I became very interested in whether my knowledge of the fallopian tubes could be adapted to advance scientific progress in this area," says Dr. Yamanaka. (ovariancanada.org)
