How serious is it when only one ovary can be found in a woman?

can it be corrected? or can she still have children. and finally what does clinical correlation means?

How serious is it when only one ovary can be found in a woman?
1) Having one ovary should have no bearing on fertility, providing the remaining ovary ovulates and its corresponding fallopian tube is not blocked or having any other issues. While two ovaries will alternate each month when there's two of them, if you lose one, the other one will take over the duties for both. The idea that a woman is only fertile every other month with one ovary is a myth.





2) Having one ovary cannot be "corrected". There's no such thing as an ovarian transplant.





3) Clinical correlation means how one medical condition may relate to another condition. For example: the clinical correlation between obesity and heart disease would be that obesity can lead to heart disease. Make sense?





Good luck.
Reply:I had to have an ovary taken out when I was younger, and went on to have a healthy baby girl. If you have one viable ovary and the tube on that side is intact, you ovulate and have a period every month. One ovary will take over for the missing one.
Reply:It is ok to only have one ovary, as long as you have one ovary you can still get pregnant. I only have one ovary and I ovulate every month still. When you only have one ovary your body adjusts and your one ovary will still produce the one egg a month.
Reply:You can still get pregnant with having one ovary...as long as it is a functioniong ovary...you my need to take fertility drugs to help it along.
Reply:not that serious


no it cannot be corrected


she can still have kidlets, she'll just only ovulatle every other month, so it will take twice as long
Reply:I do not believe there is a correction available or necessary for only one ovary. I am unaware of clinical correlation but I wanted to share that I have only one fallopian tube(due to an ectopic pregnancy) and I have gotten pregnant 4 times with only one tube. It may take longer to get pregnant but as long as the one ovary is still producing then she should be fine. I would sincerely suggest directing these questions at her care provider or her gynecologist for further and complete information.


Best wishes :)
