Patient's question:

In the same person, the left and right ovaries are not consistent, generally the left is larger than the right. The average length of the adult left ovary is 2.93 cm, and the average length of the right ovary is 2.88 cm; the average width of the left ovary is 1.48 cm; the average width of the right ovary is 1.38 cm; the average thickness of the left ovary is 0.82 cm, and the average thickness of the right ovary is 0.83 cm. The weight of the ovary is 3-4 grams. From the age of 35 to 45, the ovaries begin to gradually shrink, and after menopause, the ovaries can gradually shrink to half of their original volume. The size of the adult ovary is usually equivalent to the size of the thumb. Due to repeated ovulation, the follicles rupture and atrophy, being replaced by connective tissue, so the gradually becomes harder.
