Which body part or function is involved in Period Problems?
The ovaries have two major reproductive functions in the body. They release oocytes (eggs) for fertilization and they secrete the reproductive hormones, estrogen, and progesterone. The performance of the ovaries is regulated by a gonadotropin-releasing hormone secreted from nerve cells in the hypothalamus which sends their information to the pituitary gland to release luteinizing hormone and follicle-stimulating hormone. These are run in the bloodstream to regulate the menstrual cycle.
The ovaries release an egg (oocyte) at the interval of each menstrual cycle. Normally, only a single oocyte from one ovary is secreted during each menstrual cycle, with each ovary taking a substitute turn in releasing an egg. A female baby is born with all the eggs that stay remain all over her reproductive age. During puberty to menopause, only about 400–500 eggs will become mature, then released from the ovary (in a process called ovulation) to be able of being fertilized in the fallopian tubes/uterine tube/oviduct of the female reproductive system.
