Ovarian female specific organ.

It deep in the pelvis, is a flat oval gonad, the main function is to produce eggs and female hormone secretion.

Ovarian female specific organ.

It deep in the pelvis, is a flat oval gonad, the main function is to produce eggs and female hormone secretion. It is precisely because of the ovary in the reproduction and the endocrine function, the female will appear after puberty, breast tone varying high rise, chest and shoulder, subcutaneous fat female-specific body and shoulder the responsibility of the breed.

So, for this is crucial to the female organs, you know? along with the social development of industrialization, lifestyle changes, attitude of openness, an increasing number of female disease incidence increased each year, a serious threat to the health of women.

Female friends how to protect themselves, concerned about his health?

Today, we introduce 5 threat ovarian health problems: premature ovarian failure, ovarian inflammatory, ovarian cysts, polycystic ovary syndrome and ovarian cancer.

Premature ovarian failure (POF)

Premature ovarian failure refers to women 40-year-old former natural menopause occurs.

Due to the decline in ovarian function also causes libido, sexual dysfunction, infertility, menopause syndrome (hot flashes, sweating, irritability, nervous), and a series of symptoms. In recent years, its incidence significant upward trend, and younger.

Premature ovarian failure causes many and complex, and the exact pathogenesis and unclear.

Current research is more accepted in immunization, genetic, metabolic, ovarian failure (such as pelvic radiotherapy conducted and chemotherapy, surgery, pelvic infection ovary), psychological factors (chronic anxiety, sadness, fear, negative emotions, not only can affect gonadal axis, you can also directly affect ovarian function, causing the POF), etc.

Once the 40-year-old former female Menstrual regulation appears, hot flashes, sweating, sexuality changes should be alert to the incidence of premature ovarian failure.

If there is a long period of amenorrhea, more timely to hospitals.

So, if you have already happened and how the treatment of premature ovarian failure?.

Hormone replacement therapy for the treatment of not only to alleviate the estrogen reduce vasomotor instability symptoms, but also to prevent organ atrophy and osteoporosis and lipid metabolism disorders and cardiovascular diseases. But long-term medication should guard against liver damage, thrombosis and breast cancer, endometrial cancer, so it should be guided by the doctor.

Traditional Chinese medicine in the treatment of kidney herbs can adjust premature ovarian failure, reduced ovarian atrophy.

In addition, the liver Qi, the spleen, Qi and blood disorders is also important as closed, pathogenesis, you follow the differentiation of the treatment.

Acupuncture and moxibustion modern research that can adjust the ovary of reproductive endocrine function, so that the resumption of normal physiological state.

Reported use of acupuncture in the treatment of premature ovarian failure caused by hot flashes, insomnia, irritability, vagina dry, sexual dysfunction and genital atrophy etc, of the results of the clinical symptoms.

Ovarian inflammatory

When infrarenal abdominal pain in women there, fever, secretion anomaly, many people can think of is probably the cause and gynecological inflammation to hospitals.

So when only low heat, fatigue, mental sluggishness, discomfort, insomnia, abdominal pendant expansion, lumbosacral pain, menstrual volume increase, do you think this might be caused by a gynecological inflammation?

Female genital mutilation include within the vagina, uterus, fallopian tubes and ovaries.

When these organs and the surrounding tissue inflammation occurs, known as pelvic inflammatory disease. Pelvic inflammatory disease mostly occur in sexually active women, beginning of period before, during and after menopause or no sexual life are very rare. But seldom separate inflammation of the ovary, usually together with tubal ectopic ovarian inflammation occurs, that is, we often hear of the "attachments."

Natural childbirth, abortion, intrauterine surgery operation (such as curettage, tubal, Hysteroscopy), menstrual use dirty hygiene supplies, menstrual period sex, multiple sexual partners, sexuality too often, intrauterine device, etc., can cause pelvic inflammatory disease.

Therefore note the menstrual period, pregnant, postpartum health, sexual health, to avoid the attention of the menstrual period sex life, strengthening the physical exercise, can effectively prevent the occurrence of pelvic inflammatory disease.

In the event of acute pelvic inflammatory disease, should stay in bed, strengthen nutrition, timely use of antibiotics, thoroughly cure, prevent becoming chronic.

Chronic inflammatory disease usually adopt comprehensive therapy, such as Chinese medicine and physical therapy.

Ovarian cyst

The ovary is small, but organizations with complex, is all body organs tumor types most parts of the body.

The so-called ovarian cyst, and is not a disease of the inaccurate description, but the change of cystic ovary. B-or gynaecological examinations found ovarian cyst, follicular cyst may, corpus luteum cyst, and other physiological changes, possibly ovarian inflammatory causes of inflammatory mass or benign tumors of the ovary.

Because the ovaries are located deep in the pelvis, early cysts smaller, more symptoms without consciously.

To grow to medium-large, often feel bloated or in patients undergoing abdominal nonpalpable yourself. Giant ovarian cyst because of oppression around organ can appear urination and constipation, shortness of breath, palpitations, etc. Although ovarian cysts more no obvious symptoms, but when cysts twist, cracked, or infection that can cause severe abdominal pain, and even the bleeding occurs within the abdominal cavity or shock.

Because the ovaries are benign cystic changes more and more common, the female friends found after ovarian cysts do not have to be too alarmed.

Single-sided, diameter less than 5 cm cyst, observation can be temporary or oral contraceptiveMedicine, if indeed physiological cysts, 2 months to go away. If the cyst persists or grow up, you will need surgery. And pelvic inflammatory mass after oral administration of traditional Chinese medicine, most of them can reduce or even disappear.

Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS)

Polycystic ovary syndrome is a common female endocrine diseases, is leading to growing period menstrual disorder of one of the most common causes.

Suffering from this disease in women with a clear conscious symptoms, such as: menstrual disorders (much as menstrual dilute or amenorrhea), infertility, hairy, acne, obesity, Acanthosis Nigricans (labia, the back of your neck, armpit, breast, skin pigmentation occurs at, symmetric, skin thickening and soft). Therefore more consciously. As a result of PCOS exception endocrine environment, but also prone to type 2 diabetes ' > diabetes, gestational diabetes ' > diabetes mellitus (GDM), impaired glucose tolerance, Hyperlipidemia, high blood pressure, blood hypercoagulation and coronary heart disease and metabolic syndrome. So think of Polycystic ovary syndrome is a complex system syndrome.

PCOS the etiology is not clear, currently only some hypotheses.

Due to its etiology, treatment is mainly symptomatic multiple to:

General treatment for weight control, severely restricted calorie intake and long exercise.

Some patients may recover ovulation and fertility.

Regulation of the menstrual cycle for adolescents and patients with no growth requirements, you can select oral contraceptives (now commonly used marvelon and Diane-35), after administration allows menstrual acne, improve and hairy.

Continuous application three cycle can significantly improve hormone disorders, thereby adjusting the menstrual cycle.

Ovulation with fertility requirements for patients, clomiphene citrate, gonadotropin, metformin therapy laparoscopic ovarian drilling operation, transvaginal ultrasound guided immature follicles puncture, transvaginal ultrasound-guided surgery for ovarian stromal hydraulic, etc.

At the same time need to be reminded of the female friends are: long-term anovulation in PCOS patients should insist on oral contraceptives, regular rows b-checking, monitoring of endometrial thickness, prevent Endometrial hyperplasia and the development of cancerous; ovulation applications not so much to prevent the possibility of ovarian cancer is thrown; adjust diet to prevent excess calories and fat to prevent diabetes ' > diabetes, diet mix and diversification, prevent eating disorders caused by malnutrition; adhere to fit individual workouts, persevere.

Ovarian cancer

Ovarian cancer is the second highest incidence of malignant neoplasm of genital, representing 5% of the female cancers.

General ovarian cancer is no obvious clinical signs and symptoms often once characterized by abdominal distension, abdominal masses and ascites, cancer is not a poor prognosis in early. Discover time delays to ovarian cancer as the most deadly of gynecological malignancies, 5-year survival rate of only 50%.

Due to its etiology, prevention, and therefore difficult to prevent high-risk factors, extensive screening, early detection and timely treatment becomes less effective measures of ovarian cancer.

Women should strengthen high-protein, rich in vitamin A diet, avoid high cholesterol foods; use of oral contraceptives in women at high risk prevention; 30 years of women each year, in collaboration with gynecological check for b-scan inspection better; solid tumors of the ovary or cyst diameter greater than 5 cm to timely surgical resection.
