Is the right ovary enlarged?

The ovary is a part of the female reproductive system and is a very important organ for women. It can be divided into the left ovary and the right ovary. In daily life, women are more likely to have enlarged right ovary. This situation is mostly due to some diseases in the right ovary, which requires people to pay special attention to it, otherwise it may cause more serious conditions. The following is an introduction to whether the enlargement of the right ovary is serious.

The situation of severe enlargement of a woman's right ovary cannot be ignored, because it is mostly caused by a lesion in the right ovary. Ovarian tumor is the most common gynecological disease in women of childbearing age. It is also a general term for swelling and neoplasms of the right ovary, which can be divided into two types: physiological and pathological.

Many women will find that their right ovary is enlarged during examination. They don’t know whether this condition is serious or not. In fact, enlarged ovaries are a bad phenomenon, because enlarged ovaries mean that there are lesions, such as ovarian tumors, ovarian inflammation, ovarian chocolate cysts, polycystic ovary syndrome, etc. These diseases are very harmful, and in severe cases can cause complications such as infertility and bleeding. Here we will take a closer look at the following situations that can cause the right ovary to enlarge:

1. Ovarian tumor: Ovarian tumor is the most common gynecological disease in women of childbearing age. It is also a general term for swelling and neoplasms of the right ovary. It can be divided into two major types: physiological and pathological. Physiological cysts include corpus luteum cysts and follicular cysts. These physiological cysts mainly appear at a certain stage of the menstrual period and will disappear on their own after a while, so there is no need to worry too much. Pathological ovarian tumors can be divided into non-neoplastic tumors and neoplastic tumors. Common non-neoplastic tumors include polycystic ovary, endometriosis (ovarian chocolate cysts), etc. Once a woman is diagnosed with a pathological ovarian cyst, she should adopt targeted treatment methods as soon as possible, otherwise more complications will occur.

2. Ovarian inflammation : This is also a gynecological disease that is very common in women of childbearing age. It is mainly caused by inflammation of the fallopian tubes or pelvic cavity spreading to the ovaries. The ovaries may appear significantly enlarged or have surface edema, adhesions, ischemia, and the surface is covered with a layer of membrane-like substance. In severe cases, the ovaries may form adhesions with the pelvic wall, fallopian tubes, posterior wall of the uterus, and other parts, and may even become adhered and wrapped around the fallopian tubes. Ovarian inflammation can also have a significant impact on women's fertility. It is best to conduct antibacterial and anti-inflammatory treatment in a timely manner, and surgical treatment can be performed if necessary.
