Ovarian Cycle

Ovarian Cycle

The menstrual cycle includes a critical component known as the ovarian cycle, which undergoes two main phases each month—the follicular phase and the luteal phase. The follicular phase is variable and averaging around 14 days. Ovulation, triggered by a surge in luteinizing hormone (LH), marks the transition between the two phases. The second phase, the luteal phase, is relatively consistent, lasting approximately 14 days, and is marked by the activity of the corpus luteum. While a cycle...

Hormonal Control of the Ovarian Cycle

Hormonal Control of the Ovarian Cycle

The ovarian cycle is meticulously regulated by the hypothalamic-pituitary-gonadal axis. This cycle orchestrates the release of a mature oocyte, essential for reproduction.
Before puberty, the hypothalamus releases GnRH in a low frequency, low amplitude pulsatile manner. This along with the immature hypothalamic-pituitary-gonadal axis activity, results in low estrogen levels and the absence of a fully functional ovarian cycle. At puberty, GnRH secretion increases in both frequency and...

Area of Science:

Gynecologic Surgery
Urology
Pathology

Background:

Post-hysterectomy complications can manifest years after surgery.
Adnexal masses and lower urinary tract symptoms require thorough investigation.

Observation:

A 41-year-old woman presented with gross hematuria, urinary urgency, frequency, and abdominal pain 2 years post-vaginal hysterectomy.
Pelvic examination and ultrasonography revealed an adnexal mass contiguous with an inflammatory bladder polyp.

Findings:

Histological examination confirmed an ovarian abscess with chronic sinus tract formation.
The sinus tract was contiguous with an inflammatory bladder polyp, indicating a complex inflammatory process.

Implications:

This case highlights a rare complication of contiguous ovarian abscess and bladder polyp formation after hysterectomy.
Early diagnosis and surgical management are crucial for resolving such complex post-operative sequelae.
