Patient's question:
I haven't gotten pregnant yet. When I went to the hospital for a check-up, the doctor said that both my husband and I are physically fine and can have children. However, after so long, I still haven't conceived. We've been married for a year now, and I'm wondering if there might be an issue with my ovaries. How should I go about getting an ovary check-up?Doctor's answer:
Hello, the ovary is the reproductive organ of female animals. The function of the ovary is to produce eggs and steroid hormones. The position of the ovary is the same as that of the testis, but only the left side develops. It appears grape-like, consisting of follicles at different stages of development, which are yellow in color. The surface of the ovary is densely covered with blood vessels. The size of the ovary is related to age and the ovulation period. Generally, a six-hormone test can be performed to clearly determine this. This test can help understand the endocrine system, and an ultrasound examination can also reveal any abnormalities.
