Q

When does the ovary increase in size until during the early proliferative phase?

A

Increase in size until day 8 or 9

17
Q

What happens to the follicles during the early proliferative phase?

A

One becomes dominant

18
Q

19
Q

What develops if fluid in one of the nondominant follicles is not resorbed?

A

Follicular cyst

20
Q

Is the follicular cyst vascular?

21
Q

What develops after ovulation?

A

Corpus Luteum

22
Q

How is the corpus luteum seen in an ultrasound?

A

Seen as a small, hypoechoic or isoechoic structure in periphery of ovary
- empty house

23
Q

What does the corpus luteum do before menstration?

A

It involutes

- curls up?

24
Q

Why are you less likely to see the ovaries after a hysterectomy?

A

Due to loss of normal anatomic landmarks

25
Q

What does an ovary look like post menopausal sonographically? (2)

A
  1. Small
  2. Lack of follicles or completely absent
    - hard to find on Ultrasound
26
Q

ADNEXA

A

Appendages or accessory structures of an organ

27
Q

What does the ADNEXA refer to in the uterus? (3)
