Reproductive health care for women is the most important part of their overall wellbeing. Enabling women to make the right decision for their reproductive health empowers them to lead better lives. It is important to approach the topic of female reproductive health in a holistic manner because it impacts their decision to control their lives, and when and if to have children. The ovaries are two small glands located on both sides of the uterus in biological women, and form an integral part of their reproductive system. They produce the female hormones progesterone and estrogen and release the ‘egg’ every month before menstruation begins.
Ovaries thus play a very vital role in deciding facets of female body traits like breast development, body hair, and body shape. Even though these organs play an indispensable role in the reproductive life of a woman right from puberty till menopause, discourse around ovarian health is very limited.
