Congenital absence of ovaries

The ovary is an organ unique to women. It is very important to women. Whether one can have children has a lot to do with the ovaries. Some women are born with five ovaries, which is very disturbing. Not only will they be unable to get pregnant and have children, but it will also cause adverse reactions such as short stature or underdeveloped secondary sexual characteristics. So, can congenital absence of ovaries be treated? Let me introduce it to you below.

Congenital absence of uterus and ovaries is caused by developmental abnormalities and cannot be cured. Women in this situation will not be able to get pregnant and have children, so they need to be mentally prepared. You can get married, but it is best to tell your partner about your physical condition before marriage to avoid unnecessary trouble and waste money on treatment. If there is no vagina, a vagina can be created through surgery when you reach a certain age, and you can have sexual intercourse, but there is no way to treat the absence of a uterus or ovaries.

Features of congenital absence of ovaries

It is characterized by short stature, underdeveloped genitals and secondary sexual characteristics, and a group of body developmental abnormalities. Height is generally less than 150 cm. The female vulva is immature, with a vagina and a small or absent uterus. The physical characteristics include multiple moles, ptosis, large and low ears, high palate, low posterior hairline, short and wide neck, webbed neck, barrel or shield-shaped chest, large distance between nipples, underdeveloped breasts and nipples, cubitus valgus, short 4th or 5th metacarpals or metatarsal bones, pass-through hands, lower limb lymphedema, renal malformation, and aortic arch stenosis. The levels of intellectual development vary.

Life expectancy is the same as that of normal people. Maternal age does not appear to be associated with this developmental abnormality. LH and FSH increase significantly from the age of 10 to 11 years old, and the increase in FSH is greater than that in LH. The bone density of Turner patients is significantly lower than that of normal women of the same age.
