Obesity and Female Infertility
There is a positive relationship between a lady's weight and her capacity of getting pregnant. Being overweight intermittently influences the period, causing sporadic cycles or straight-out amenorrhea (absence of periods). The fundamental system liable for this is the absence of ordinary ovulation. Ladies who are overweight or stout are essentially more inclined to ovulatory issues when contrasted with ladies of typical weight (see the clarification beneath). All in all, overweight ladies may either have low-quality ovulation or may not ovulate by and large. Under these conditions, since no egg is delivered by the ovaries, origination is incomprehensible.

OVARIAN CANCER
INTRODUCTION Ovarian cancer screening isn’t as simple as getting an ultrasound. The characterization of ovarian masses and distinguishing between benign and malignant pathology is important both to decrease unnecessary anxiety and enable decisions regarding optimal treatment. Benign pathology may be best treated conservatively or in a general gynaecology unit using a minimal access approach. Conversely, suspected malignant masses should be referred to specialized units for further management. Thus prior knowledge of the nature of ovarian masses is essential not only for the patient but in order to organize clinical services in terms of planning, costs and overall management.
