People always say that the ovaries are one of the important reproductive organs in women of childbearing age, playing a huge role, but what exactly is the function of the female ovaries? Why is it important? Actually, many women are not very clear about it. In order to help female friends learn more about ovarian knowledge, let me explain it in detail to you.
The female ovary has two functions. The first is to produce and release eggs. Every month, the female ovary secretes several egg cells. In the subsequent development process, only one egg cell can eventually mature, so only one mature egg is released each month. When the egg and sperm combine and fertilize, a fertilized egg is formed, which marks the beginning of a new life.
The second is the combined secretion of sex hormones, which involves the secretion of estrogen and progesterone. Estrogen promotes the growth and development of female genitalia and accelerates the appearance of secondary sexual characteristics along with their development. Progesterone, on the other hand, synergizes with estrogen to further promote the growth and development of the endometrium, preparing for the implantation of fertilized eggs in the uterus.
So in order to ensure the health of the ovaries, women should do a good job of ovarian maintenance in their daily lives. They should massage the lower abdomen and ovaries in a clockwise direction for about 2 minutes each time. In addition, they should develop good eating habits and a regular lifestyle, maintain an optimistic and cheerful attitude, which plays an important role in improving ovarian function.
