Normal OvariesNormal OvariesNormal size: 5 x 3 x 3cm
Variation in dimensions can result from:
–Endogenous hormonal production varies with age and
menstrual cycle(
–Exogenous substances, including GnRH agonists, or
ovulation-inducing medication, may affect size.

Ovarian AttachmentsOvarian Attachments
5
• Several ligaments hold each ovary in position.
• The largest is called the broad ligament and is attached to the uterine tubes and uterus.
• The suspensory ligament holds the ovary at the upper end.
• The ovarian ligament is a rounded, cord-like thickening of the broad ligament.

HistologyHistology• Ovary has 3 layer of tissues:
• Ovarian surface epithelium or Germinal epithelium: Tunica albuginea.
• Ovarian Cortex: cellular connective tissue ovarian follicles corpora lutea and albicans.
• Medulla: vascular connective tissue

Stages of DevelopmentStages of Development•Ovarian follicles – in cortex and consist of oocytes in various stages
of development. Surrounding cells nourish developing oocyte and secrete estrogens as follicle grows.
•Mature (graafian) follicle – large, fluid-filled follicle ready to expel secondary oocyte during ovulation.
• Corpus luteum – remnants of mature follicle after ovulationProduces progesterone, estrogens, relaxin and inhibin untill it degenerates into corpus albicans.

Menstrual CycleMenstrual Cycle•Normal Female Reproductive cycle is divided into two phases:
•Ovarian phase
• Uterine phase (Menstural cycle)

Ovarian CycleOvarian CycleFollicular Phase•Menstural phase (1st-5th day)•Pre-ovulatory phase. (5th-13th days)
Ovulation Phase•Ovulatory phase. (13th-18th day)
Luteal Phase•Post-ovulatory phase. (18th – 28th days)

Graffian Follicle
11/09/1421
Corpus LuteumCorpus LuteumAfter ovulation, the remaining wall of the graafian follicle transforms into the corpus luteum.
The wall of the corpus luteum is folded and contains granulosa lutein cells derived from granulosa cells which secrete progesterone.
11/09/1422
Corpus AlbecansCorpus AlbecansIn the absence of fertilization the corpus luteum degenerates, decreases in size and form the corpus albicans which consists of dense connective tissue
11/09/1423
Formation Of CYSTFormation Of CYSTIn female reproductive cycle during follicular phase water starts accumulating around the egg cell, size increases as more water accumulate.
Because of accumulation of water Follicle comes to the periphery and Release of ovum ovulation occurs. If not fertilized, Menstruation occurs.
In case of ovarian cyst this collection of fluid remain, surrounded by a very thin wall, within an ovary.
Any ovarian follicle that is larger than about two centimeters is termed an ovarian cyst.

Polycystic OvariesPolycystic Ovaries Rotterdam criteria defines:
PCO solely on total follicle no. Presence of ≥ 12 follicles measuring 2-9 mm in diameter and/or increased ovarian volume >10 mL in at least one ovary.
Epidemiology
11/09/1428
EpidemiologyEpidemiologyVery prevalent disease affecting between 6.5 and 8% of women overall
It is prevalent in Young Reproductive Age group (20-30%)
Prevalence much higher in obese women (28% versus 5.5%).
11/09/14 29
HistoryHistory
Originally described by Stein and Leventhal in 1935, first known as the “Stein-Leventhal syndrome”.
They saw in 7 women with amenorrhoea, hirsutism, and obesity found to have a polycystic appearance to the ovaries.
Insulin resistance described later by Burghen (1980) 11/09/1430
ETIOLOGIESETIOLOGIES
No one is quite sure what causes PCOS, and it is likely to be the result of:
1(Genetic (inherited( 2(Environmental factors. 3(Metabolic disorder (IR(
11/09/1431
Pathophysiology
1( Hypothalamic – pituitary abnormalities
that result in gonadotropin – releasing hormone and leutinizing hormone dysfunction.
2( A primary enzymatic defect in ovarian or combined ovarian and adrenal steroidogenesis.
3( A metabolic disorder characterized by resistance in conjunction with compensatory hyperinsulinaemia that exert adverse effects on the hypothalamus, pituitary, ovaries, and possibly the adrenal glands. 11/09/1432
PATHOGENESISPATHOGENESISThe ovaries are stimulated to produce excessive amounts of androgens, particularly testosterone, by either one or a combination of the following (almost certainly combined with
genetic susceptibility(.
The release of excessive LH by the anterior pituitary gland.
Through hyperinsulinaemia in women whose ovaries are sensitive to this stimulus.
Alternatively or as well, reduced levels of sex-hormone binding globulin(SHBG) can result in increased free androgens. 11/09/1433
11/09/1434
ABNORMALITIES OF PCOS OVARY
• Increase activity in chromosome CYP17 region leads to increased p450c17 enzyme and hence increased androgen synthesis.
• Decrease in chromosomal region CYP19 activity decreases aromatase enzyme activity and conversion of androgens to E2 (Estradiol) is reduced.
• This loss of aromatase and E2 biosynthesis has been proposed to involve dysregulation of signaling within the follicle leading to follicular arrest.

Androgen Excess & PCOS society Criteria 2006
•Menstrual irregularity +/- USG - Polycystic ovary.
•Hyperandrogenism.
•Exclusion of other etiologies

Investigations:Investigations:• History-taking, specifically for menstrual pattern, obesity, hirsutism,
and the absence of breast development.
• BBT (basal body temperature)
• Ultrasonography.
• Serum (blood) levels of androgens (male hormones), including androstenedione and testosterone may be elevated.
• Serum values of Luteinizing Hormone (LH)
• levels or the ratio between LH : FSH is > 3 : 1
• Laproscopic view

• Late onset congenital adrenal hyperplasia
• DHEAS (Dehydroepiandrosterone) >18mmol/l
• 17 OH Prog (17 hydroxyprogestrone) > 6 mmol/l
• Ovarian + adrenal androgen secreting tumours
• Very high testosterone > 6mmol/l
11/09/14 49
• Cushings Syndrome:
• - Dexamethsone suppression test
• - 24 hours urinary cortisol
• - DHEAS (Dehydroepiandrosterone) > 13 mmol/l
• Iatrogenic and illegal androgen ingestion.
• Hypothyroidisms (Thyroid profile test).
• Hyperprolactinemia. (Serum Prolactine estimation)
