Is the number of primordial follicles greater in the ovaries at puberty or at birth?
Puberty
What is ovaries are oval-shape organs?
It is a false statement. The word "oval" is derived from ova = egg, as is the word "ovary". But an ovary is only very approximately oval-shaped.
What does 'a 1.4 X 1.8 CM follicle in the left ovary and no free fluid' mean?
Assuming you haven't been through menopause yet, it's a good thing! Follicles form normally when you ovulate...they will always show up in an ultrasound of your ovaries. When they do these, they also look for ascites which is a fluid that builds up around ovarian tumors...sounds like your scan was normal...I have them done every 3 months due to a family history of ovarian cancer and have done lots of research to understand my test results.
Is menstruation important to women why and what are the different changes happen in the female reproductive organs during menstruation?
Menstration is very important to women. It's important because this is the reason we can get pregnant and have babies! During menstration the uterus builds up a lining/"cushion" of nutrients for the egg to attach to. When the lining is all built up the egg is released from the ovary to the fallopian tube. The eggs is then fertilised in the fallopian tube. The fertilised egg (zygote) will then travels to the uterus, sits there and develops into an embro. If this doesn't happen then the lining and the egg are shed. This is called menstration. This starts in young girls around the age 11-13 and will repeat itself every month until all the eggs in the ovaries are released. Which is uaually between the ages of 45-60.
What happens on your 6 weeks check-up appointment after delivery?
At your postpartum checkup, your caregiver will: • Check your weight and blood pressure. • Check your abdomen and breasts. She'll feel your belly to be sure that there's no tenderness and check your breasts for lumps and abnormal nipple discharge. If you're breastfeeding, she'll make sure you don't have any clogged ducts or the beginnings of a breast infection. • Inspect your perineum and do a speculum and internal exam. During the speculum exam she'll check to make sure any bruises, scratches, or tears to your cervix or vagina are healing properly and she may do a Pap smear. During the internal exam she'll feel your uterus and ovaries, and check your vaginal muscle tone. She may do a rectal exam as well. • Probably give you the green light to start having sex again. But don't worry if you don't feel up to it yet. Many new moms don't feel like having sex for several months (or more!) after having a baby. Your caregiver will talk to you about birth control options during this visit, too. Remember: You can get pregnant even if you're breastfeeding and your period hasn't returned. • Talk over any concerns. You might also have some questions about what exactly happened during delivery and why. Even if your caregiver explained to you what was happening at the time, you may not remember everything that was said. Don't be shy. Ask again now that you're able to listen to and think about the information. • Ask how you're feeling. Make sure to use this visit to talk about any emotional problems you may be having, too. It's normal to have occasional mood swings at this point, but if you think you're suffering from postpartum depression, ask for a referral to a therapist. • Order lab tests (if necessary), and let you know when you should return for routine care, including any follow-up for your chosen contraceptive method.
