Ovary psychosomatics
The ovaries are two small glands where eggs mature and female hormones are made. Your cycle, pregnancy and how you feel all depend on them.

What psychosomatics says
In psychosomatics, the ovaries are linked to loss and the fear of loss. Someone close to you left, died, moved away or drifted apart emotionally.
Another theme is continuing the family line. Do I want children, can I carry them, what will happen to them.
Psychosomatics helps you see what loss you're carrying and what keeps you from letting it go.
What it is
Every month a follicle matures in the ovary. An egg is released from it, and in its place a corpus luteum forms, which produces progesterone.
The most common ovarian problems are cysts, polycystic ovaries, endometriosis, inflammation and ovulation problems.
According to the World Health Organization, polycystic ovary syndrome affects 10–13% of women of reproductive age, and up to 70% of them don't know they have it. It's the most common reason ovulation doesn't happen.
Ovarian function is checked with ultrasound and hormone tests on certain days of the cycle.
How it shows up
- Cycle problems
- Pain on one side of the lower belly
- Trouble getting pregnant
- Acne, hair growth on the face and body
- Often no signs at all
A gynecologist or gynecologic endocrinologist makes the diagnosis.
