Where do ovarian cancers develop?
Ninety percent of all ovarian cancers develop in the cells lining the surface, or epithelium, of the ovaries and so are called epithelial cell tumors.
What is the difference between ovarian and uterine cycle?
The ovarian cycle refers to the changes that occur in the ovaries, including follicle development, ovulation, and corpus luteum formation. The uterine cycle, on the other hand, involves the changes in the endometrium lining of the uterus in preparation for implantation of a fertilized egg. The ovarian cycle is responsible for the production of eggs, while the uterine cycle provides a suitable environment for embryo implantation.
How does the ovarian cycle regulate the uterine cycle?
The ovarian cycle and the uterine cycle are part of the same cycle, the reproductive cycle. Ovulation occurs and if the egg isn't fertilised the uterine lining sheds as menstruation.
What cancer stops periods?
The ovarian cancer is the type of cancer that stops periods. The ovarian cancer can also cause the post-menopausal women to start bleeding because the hormones that are produced make the lining of the womb thicker.
Which ovarian phase corresponds with the proliferative phase in the uterus?
The ovarian phase that corresponds with the proliferative phase in the uterus is the follicular phase. It is characterized by follicle development in the ovary and an increase in estrogen levels, which triggers the thickening of the endometrial lining in the uterus in preparation for implantation.
What hormone stimulates endometrium growth?
Estrogen is responsible for the growth of the endometrium, or uterine lining. The progesterone added at ovulation changes its growth pattern. This is why unopposed estrogen, as with poorly-planned estrogen replacement therapy or in the case of metabolic diseases like polycystic ovarian syndrome, can lead to overgrowth ("hyperplasia") of the uterine lining.
What is another name for ovarian sac?
Ovary
Can polycystic ovary syndrome cause cancer?
Women with polycystic ovarian syndrome are at higher risk of cancer of the lining of the uterus (endometrial cancer). Ensuring regular shedding or control of the lining can reduce or eliminate this risk. Options include cyclic progestins or other hormonal contraception.
What are the advantages of the birth control patch?
The advantages of the patch include: * Good effectiveness against pregnancy * Reducing the frequency of thinking about birth control from daily (with the pill) to weekly * Decrease bleeding and cramping with periods * Decreased risk of cancer of the lining of the uterus, ovarian cancer, and certain kinds of ovarian cysts.
What structure releases progesterone to increase the vascularity of the uterine lining?
The corpus luteum, formed from the remnants of the ovarian follicle after ovulation, is the structure that releases progesterone to increase the vascularity of the uterine lining. Progesterone helps prepare the uterus for potential embryo implantation by promoting a rich blood supply to the endometrium.
What causes ovarian pain?
Ovarian pain can be caused by many things. Among them are ovulation (mittelschmertz), ovarian cysts, endometriosis, and ectopic pregnancy. It's best to see your doctor to rule out the more serious possibilities.
Menstruation is the monthly cycle that prepares and refreshes the female reproductive system for pregnancy This process consists of which two cycles?
The two main cycles involved in menstruation are the ovarian cycle, which involves the development and release of an egg from the ovary, and the uterine cycle, which involves the thickening and shedding of the uterine lining in preparation for a potential pregnancy.
