Description. Four criteria for differentiating ovarian from other ectopic pregnancies: The gestational sac is located in the region of the ovary. The ectopic pregnancy is attached to the uterus by the ovarian ligament. Ovarian tissue in the wall of the gestational sac is proved histologically. The tube on the involved side is intact.
Ovarian pregnancy refers to an ectopic pregnancy that is located in the ovary. Typically the egg cell is not released or picked up at ovulation, but fertilized within the ovary where the pregnancy implants. [1][2][3] Such a pregnancy usually does not proceed past the first four weeks of pregnancy. [3] An untreated ovarian pregnancy causes ...
Ectopic pregnancy is a complication of pregnancy in which the embryo attaches outside the uterus. [ 5 ] Signs and symptoms classically include abdominal pain and vaginal bleeding, but fewer than 50 percent of affected women have both of these symptoms. [ 1 ] The pain may be described as sharp, dull, or crampy. [ 1 ]
66.4 - 66.6. MeSH. D058994. [edit on Wikidata] Salpingectomy refers to the surgical removal of a fallopian tube. This may be done to treat an ectopic pregnancy or cancer, to prevent cancer, or as a form of contraception. This procedure is now sometimes preferred over its ovarian tube-sparing counterparts due to the risk of ectopic pregnancies.
A major cause of female infertility is premature ovarian insufficiency.[54] This insufficiency is a heterogeneous disease that affects about 1% of women who are under the age of 40.[54] Some instances of female infertility are caused by DNA repairdysregulation during meiosis. [54]
Fallopian tube. The fallopian tubes, also known as uterine tubes, oviducts[1] or salpinges (sg.: salpinx), are paired tubular sex organs in the human female body that stretch from the ovaries to the uterus. The fallopian tubes are part of the female reproductive system. In other vertebrates, they are only called oviducts.
Gravidity and parity. In biology and medicine, gravidity and parity are the number of times a female has been pregnant (gravidity) and carried the pregnancies to a viable gestational age (parity). [1][2] These two terms are usually coupled, sometimes with additional terms, to indicate more details of the female's obstetric history. [3] When ...
Deaths. 161,100 (2015) [9] Ovarian cancer is a cancerous tumor of an ovary. [10] It may originate from the ovary itself or more commonly from communicating nearby structures such as fallopian tubes or the inner lining of the abdomen. [3][11] The ovary is made up of three different cell types including epithelial cells, germ cells, and stromal ...
