Polycystic Ovary Syndrome
Polycystic Ovary Syndrome
I believe you mean Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome, which is when the ovaries are enlarged and contain numerous small cysts.
This syndrome usually if not always affects females. This can be verified by the presence of ovaries in the infant.
Polycystic Ovary Syndrome
the ovaries cannot be palpated. The uterus can only be palpated when enlarged due to pregnancy or pyometra :) you out.
Yes, people with Androgen Insensitivity Syndrome (AIS) typically have undescended or underdeveloped testes instead of ovaries due to their genetic makeup. AIS is a condition where individuals with XY chromosomes are partially or completely insensitive to androgens, resulting in atypical development of the reproductive organs.
This condition is called Mayer-Rokitansky-Küster-Hauser (MRKH) syndrome. It is a congenital disorder that affects the development of the female reproductive system, resulting in the absence of the uterus (womb) while the ovaries are present.
I think this is a symptom of Poly Cystic Ovarian Syndrome or PCOS for short. It is also known as Stein-Leventhal Syndrome. Here is a good website to check out: http://www.nlm.nih.gov/medlineplus/ency/article/000369.htm Also: http://www.soulcysters.com/ Good luck!
No, it means that instead egg follicles properly developing, they begin turning into cysts inside of the ovaries.
Klinefelter's syndrome is caused by the presence of an extra X chromosome in males (XXY), typically resulting in developmental and hormonal differences. Turner syndrome is caused by the complete or partial absence of one of the X chromosomes in females (X0), leading to underdeveloped ovaries and infertility. Both conditions occur due to chromosomal abnormalities during conception.
No, a man cannot have ovaries and still be considered biologically male. Ovaries are female reproductive organs, and their presence would indicate a female biological sex.
Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is a common endocrine system disorder among women of reproductive age. Women with PCOS may have enlarged ovaries that contain small collections of fluid - called follicles - located in each ovary as seen during an ultrasound exam. Infrequent or prolonged menstrual periods, excess hair growth, acne, and obesity can all occur in women with polycystic ovary syndrome. According to Mayo Clinic.
