Edinburgh, Many do not know how the size of ovaries. It turned out that the size of the ovary is related to how much time remaining egg and pre-menopausal women and is influenced by several factors.
A new study in England found a mathematical model that shows this relationship by measuring the ovaries by ultrasound. These findings may help women to more accurately determine when someone should start a family.
"Basically today we have the potential to tell how fast a woman's biological clock is running and how much time is held before the end of the egg decreases," said Hamish Wallace, MD, lead researcher from the Royal Hospital for Sick Children in Edinburgh, Scotland as quoted from WebMD, Monday (17/05/2010).
The researchers theorize that ovarian size may function accurately to measure fertility in the future and this depends on your age. A woman's ovaries are smaller will affect its ability to bear children. These findings have been published in the journal Human Reproduction.
"Fertility of a woman determined not only by the number of eggs remaining in ovaries, but also related to the quality of the egg cells," said Amos Grunebaum, an infertility expert and medical director of the WebMD Fertility Center.
The researchers believe that a woman born with a limited number of egg cells and will decrease with age. The average age of menopause a woman is about 50 years, and the fertility rate began to decline approximately 1-2 decades before that. Although there is still a small portion that remains fertile at the age of 40 years.
The ovaries are a pair of reproductive organs in the body of women who are responsible for fertility and reproduction. Since the time of birth, the ovary containing the egg 200 000.
The ovaries are also responsible for producing the hormone progesterone and estrogen, the hormone plays a key role in terms of thickening of the lining of the uterus during implantation (attachment) fetuses.
