Weibliche Geschlechtsorgane
Atrophy causes ovaries to shrink significantly, becoming small, hard bodies with irregular surfaces, particularly seen in senile involution, cachexia, or after radiation exposure.
One-sentence paraphrase of the abstract; not a substitute for reading it. No clinical advice. How this works
The paper describes pathological atrophy of the ovaries, reporting that atrophy can lead to marked ovarian shrinkage into small, hard bodies (often hazelnut-sized or smaller) with an irregularly folded, cerebral-cortex–like surface consistent with “ovarium gyratum.” It states that this atrophy occurs regularly in senile involution or severe cachexia, and that exposure to X-ray and radium radiation can induce atrophy specifically affecting the follicle apparatus. The text’s main limitation is that it is a brief pathological/clinical-anatomical overview rather than an experimental study with details on sample size, measurements, or controlled methods. This paper does not explicitly discuss endometriosis or adenomyosis; it was included in the corpus via a keyword match in the upstream search index.
