What Is The Absence Of Ovaries Since Birth Called?
Hello I am a 23 year old female who at the age of 17 was told she was born without ovaries. Now my question is what is the medical name for this? Or how may I find out more information about it? At the time I was young and the talk about not being able to have my own children scared me so I the doctor didnt really tell me much and left it to my parents. Please Help!

Hello,
Did you have symptoms and health problems that led to investigations and absence of ovaries was found? There are few case reports of ovaries being absent or having undergone genesis and being non functional and having attained parenthood through assisted reproduction. I think it is more important for you to undergo thorough workup which may entail detailed information gathering about hereditary conditions, chromosome studies, hormonal profiles and special imaging.
It is important to put in place measures to protect your health from prolonged hormone deprivation because hormones produced by ovaries contribute to female health in more ways than one. These investigations will enable us to identify which condition underlies this problem Summarily, my advice to you is to be assessed by a gynecologist with specialist experience in dealing with such issues.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
