Follicular atresia

Follicular attraction is one of the types of dysfunction of the reproductive system in women. It can occur during human embryonic development or during pregnancy and childbirth in a woman. This is due to congenital abnormalities, which also include infections and injuries. In medical practice, the common name for this anomaly is follicular atresia in women, and atresia of various organs in newborns.

With follicular atresia, the canal and cavity under the epithelium of the genital organs become overgrown, caused by connective tissue structures. Against their background, pseudocysts and cones filled with dense formation or exudate can form. Pathological growths affect the function of the organ and interfere with the full functioning of the reproductive system. When the uterine cavities are damaged, menstrual function and ovulation are significantly impaired. If the fallopian tube is affected, there is a disturbance in the peristalsis of the fallopian tubes and subsequently this leads to infertility.

Violation of fallopin atresia can cause a number of complications, including death. The existence of a cavity or pseudocyst contributes to infection and hormonal imbalance of nearby organs. The following forms of the pathological process are distinguished: post-traumatic atresia of fallopia, endometrioid.

The post-traumatic defect is formed on

In children and adults, as a result of various reasons, atresia occurs in the ovaries - this is a narrowing of the canal intended for the outflow of follicular fluid. This phenomenon in medical terminology is called follicular atresia, which in some patients leads to the impossibility of a natural menstrual cycle and associated complications. Sometimes patients say that they or their daughters had ovarian atresia, mistakenly believing that we are talking only about diseases in girls. But as it turns out, women have the predominant number of cases; men here are often almost completely healthy.

Atresia can be described as an obstruction in the ovarian canal. If left untreated, the resulting fluid will accumulate until inflammation develops. As a result, the formation of a corpus luteum will occur, which will no longer be able to ensure the normal processes of follicle maturation. It will stop producing hormones, which will lead to disruption of the cyclicity of menstruation. In the worst case, atresia may develop pathologies:

• Torsion of cyst contents;

• Hydrocele. Rupture of blood vessels and blood flow to the wall of the ovarian cyst, followed by its inflammation;
