Ovarian function

Ovarian function involves the ovaries releasing eggs and producing hormones, mainly estrogen and progesterone. Each month, a selected egg matures within an ovary and is released during ovulation, a process regulated by signals from the brain. The hormones from the ovaries help prepare the uterus for pregnancy and maintain menstrual cycles. ovaries also produce small amounts of other hormones and contain follicles that store eggs for possible future release. Proper ovarian function is essential for fertility, hormonal balance, and overall reproductive health.
