Ovaries are part of the female reproductive system. Every woman has two ovaries, one on each side of the uterus. These ovaries produce and store an egg. During ovulation, an ovary releases an egg. However, if the egg is fertilized by the sperm, a pregnancy can happen. Additionally, ovaries also secret female hormones estrogen and progesterone. As soon as any woman goes through menopause, her ovaries stop producing hormones and releasing eggs.
But sometimes due to other reasons, the ovaries might not work properly. This include:
- Ovarian cysts and Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS)
- Ovarian Cancer
- Ovarian Torsion
- Premature ovarian failure
