Symptoms of disease - violation of ovarian function

Ovaries - pairs sexual glands, located in the pelvis on each side of the uterus, in which are formed and ripen ova (female reproductive cells), as well as the production of sex hormones.

Violation of ovarian function (dysfunction of the ovaries) is a violation of hormonal function of the ovaries, i.e., the ovaries secrete hormones are not in the quantities and not in those relationships.

Violation of ovarian function is manifested or delays monthly more than 5 days with the subsequent bleeding lasting more than 7 days, or irregular frequent menstruation, the following one after the other at different time intervals (less than 21 days).

One of the most frequent types of violations of the function of the ovaries is anovulatory ovarian dysfunction. It can be a consequence of disorder of any parts of the system that regulates the function of the ovaries (bark of a large brain, the hypothalamus-pituitary system). There are 3 main types of violations of the process of growth and development of follicles, leading to a lack of ovulation (anovulation): atresia follicles, have not reached the age preovulatory stage (20-22 mm in diameter); persistence of the follicle - continued growth non-ovulate follicle up to 30 - 40 mm in diameter; cystic atresia follicles with the formation of the so-called sclerogangliac of the ovaries (see Stein-Leventhal syndrome). Being violated, and the processes of formation of sex hormones. Common to all types of violations of the function of the ovaries is the termination of education hormone yellow body of progesterone. When atresia follicles reduced the synthesis of estrogen, the persistence of follicles synthesis of estrogen on the growth of the follicle increases; when cystic atresia follicles in sclerogangliac the ovaries increases the formation of androgen synthesis of estrogen decreases. The clinical picture of the anovulatory ovarian dysfunction characterized by infertility and various disorders of the menstrual cycle - amenoreei, the carbon uterine bleeding. When cystic atresia follicles along with the violation of the menstrual cycle and infertility often develop hirsutism and obesity.

To infringements of function of the ovaries also include syndrome depletion of ovarian syndrome resistant ovarian cancer. The syndrome of exhaustion of the ovaries (premature menopause) is characterized by full atresia follicular unit of the ovaries in women under 35 years of age. Occurs under the influence of various adverse factors (infection, malnutrition, stress, etc.) on the background of the inherent inferiority of the follicular unit of the ovaries. Manifests amenorrhea, infertility, sweating, tides heat to the head and the upper half of the body, heart palpitations and other signs of climacteric syndrome. Shows the replacement cycle therapy with ovarian hormones with a view to removing vegetative disorders. The prognosis for recovery of the menstrual cycle and reproductive function is poor.

Syndrome resistant ovarian - a condition in which the ovaries become insensitive to the effects of gonadotropic hormones of the pituitary gland as a result of violations of the the receptors of the ovaries. Patients are amenorrhea, infertility, some underdevelopment of secondary sex characteristics, moderate hypoplasia of the uterus.

- long fasting, along with the lack of vitamins, but mainly because of a lack of proteins, can lead to the violation of the ovaries, and it is primarily due to the difficulties in the synthesis of pituitary hormones;
- deficiency of vitamin C and E;
- exogenous chronic intoxication, professional poisoning, nicotine poisoning, and other factors can be the cause of the disturbance of the function of the ovaries. In view of the fact that there is a close relationship between the glands of internal secretion, and a number of diseases of the endocrine system can lead to infertility.
