Diseases in the female part are one of the most unpredictable, while any woman who monitors her health is simply required to undergo a regular gynecological examination. In its course, not only the composition of the discharge with a smear is evaluated, but also the dimensions of the external and internal organs.
For example, if a gynecologist diagnosed that your ovaries are enlarged, then this may indicate the presence of various problems that require observation. For the most accurate study of this organ, the so-called "internal" ultrasound should be regularly performed, during which the
pelvic organs are examined
. It is worth noting that ovaries can be enlarged and can also be at a certain
phase of the menstrual cycle, this is due to the growth of the follicle containing the egg. After ripening, it bursts and releases the egg to the outside, at this moment the most possible is pregnancy.
However, do not forget that the size of the ovaries is normal, as a rule, always approximately the same, if you do not take into account the size of the follicles. Nevertheless, when conducting research through ultrasound, a significant increase in the right organ can be detected. You should not panic at the same time, since the left side of the gonads, as a rule, is always slightly smaller than the right, and any qualified specialist will be able to confirm this.
If your ovaries are greatly enlarged, then this most likely indicates the presence of certain diseases, the nature of which can be different.
Most often, a significant discrepancy in size with the reference indicators indicates the presence of formations, for example cysts. For the most part, such tumors are benign and are removed through simple operations. Do not start such neoplasms, since most cysts tend to grow and subsequent rupture. A more complex form of the disease is polycystic. In this case, there are several cysts along the entire surface of the ovaries.
In this case, conservative treatment of this phenomenon is often used, which includes exclusively taking hormonal medications. If there is a running case, then the need for the operation is unconditional. However, it is worth remembering that only a specialist can tell what to do if
the ovary is enlarged . No self-medication is completely unacceptable.
Ovaries are often enlarged if a certain stimulation was performed before IVF artificial insemination . This procedure is necessary in order to get several follicles with mature eggs ready to take male seed.
It should be borne in mind that ultrasound testing should be carried out exclusively on certain days of the cycle, preferably 6-7 days from the start. Otherwise, the ovaries may be enlarged directly due to the preparation of the body for the onset of ovulation, in which such a condition of the pelvic organs is the norm.
