The ovaries are a vital part of the female reproductive system, located in the lower abdomen on both sides of the uterus. They are about the size and shape of an almond.
During the reproductive years, the ovaries release eggs each month and produce essential hormones like estrogen and progesterone.
Sometimes, fluid-filled sacs called cysts form inside or on the surface of the ovaries. These cysts are common and usually harmless, often disappearing on their own within a few months. However, if a cyst ruptures, it can cause severe symptoms. Regular pelvic exams are important to detect any potential health issues early.
