Answers to common questions about ovaries:

Each ovary is about the size of a walnut, and are located in the pelvis, one on each side of the uterus and their dimensions vary with the age. After menopause, ovaries decrease in size

The ovaries have two functions: they produce female hormones called estrogen and progesterone, and produce eggs that will be release into the Fallopian tubes, where, if sperm is present, they might be fertilized.

Ovaries produce a large number of oocytes ( Unfertilized egg cell). During her life, a woman has an oocytes capital, which decreases with age, and when a woman reaches the menopause, no more oocytes are produced.

It is important to know that both ovaries are not essential for pregnancy, a piece of it is sufficient. (See female anatomy)

1- I am 30 and I going to have an ovary ablation. Could I still get pregnant? Is my sexual desire is going to be decreased? My gynecologist told me that with one ovary I could still have kids. Is it true?

Your gynecologist is perfectly right, with only one ovary left or even with only a piece of it, you could still be able to get pregnant. On a sexual plan, your sexual desire will be the same as before, because ovariectomy (ovary ablation) does not alter sexual desire because the ovary left palliate to the hormonal lack.

2- I heard that after menopause, ovaries decrease a lot and can disappear. According to me, a woman is a woman because of the ovaries presence. I am worried because I just got menopause.

Do not worry. Even after menopause, your femininity will be preserved because there is still a small hormonal secretion of estrogen. Effectively, ovaries do decrease in volume after menopause as man testicles decrease with age.

3- Can a woman who do not have ovaries left (ovaries cysts) still get wet when she is sexually aroused?

Yes, if she has a substitutive hormonal treatment, and no, if she does not have a treatment because estrogen play an important role in the vaginal trophicity.

4- Can an ovary cyst be responsible for pain during deep penetration?

Yes, it is possible, but it is not systematic. A woman can have a cyst and feel no pain at all.
