Will small ovaries affect pregnancy?

The ovaries are the most obvious organ that distinguishes women from men. Ovaries are indispensable to women. Once they are missing, women lose the opportunity to become mothers. Some women may find that their ovaries are small during physical examinations. In fact, small ovaries do not affect pregnancy. As long as a woman's follicles develop normally, she will have a chance of becoming pregnant.

The ovaries are important reproductive organs in women. Ovarian, anatomical name. Located in the female pelvic cavity, they are paired solid organs. It is a female gonad, flat and oval in shape, with inner and outer sides, front and rear edges, and upper and lower ends. The lateral surface is attached to the side wall of the pelvic cavity, located at the angle between the origins of the internal and external iliac arteries, and the medial surface faces the uterus.

The upper end is connected to the pelvic wall by the ovarian suspensory ligament, and the lower end is connected to the uterus by the ovarian proper ligament; the posterior edge is free, the anterior edge is attached to the mesentery, and there are blood vessels, lymphatic vessels and nerves entering and exiting. Its size and shape change with age: in young girls, the surface is smooth; after puberty, due to multiple ovulations, scars form on the surface, making it uneven; during sexual maturity, the ovaries are largest, 2.5 to 5.0 cm long, 1.5 to 3.0 cm wide, and 0.6 to 1.5 cm thick.

After menopause, the volume decreases significantly, and in elderly women, its length, width and thickness are only about 0.5cm. Its main function is to produce and expel egg cells and secrete sex hormones to promote the development and maintenance of female sexual characteristics. Generally speaking, the left and right ovaries release a mature egg alternately every month.

Studies have shown that the size of the ovaries is related to a woman's age. The test values ​​for different people will also show different results. Clinically, the ovaries of women of reproductive age are about 4cm*3cm*1cm in size and weigh about 5 to 6 grams. After menopause, the ovaries gradually shrink, become smaller and harder.

Normally, the two ovaries in a woman's body will take turns ovulating normally every month. Moreover, every time the ovary ovulates, the follicle will rupture and shrink, and be replaced by connective tissue. Therefore, under the lens of the examination instrument, we can see that the ovaries change along with the body. If the ovaries are slightly smaller but the follicles develop normally, it will not affect pregnancy and no special treatment is required.
