You do not have permission to edit this page, for the following reasons:

This IP address has been blocked from editing Wikipedia.
This does not affect your ability to read Wikipedia pages.
Most people who see this message have done nothing wrong. Some kinds of blocks restrict editing from specific service providers or telecom companies in response to recent abuse or vandalism, and can sometimes affect other users who are unrelated to that abuse. Review the information below for assistance if you do not believe that you have done anything wrong.

The IP address or range 44.201.0.0/16 has been blocked (disabled) by ‪ST47‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a web host's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: ((unblock|reason=Caught by a web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~)). You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and they should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

This block will expire on 23:54, 31 July 2024.

Even when blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page, as well as email administrators and other editors.

For information on how to proceed, please read the FAQ for blocked users and the guideline on block appeals. The guide to appealing blocks may also be helpful.

'''Ovarian diseases''' refer to diseases or disorders of the [[ovary]].<ref>((Cite web |title=Ovarian Disorders |url=https://medlineplus.gov/ovariandisorders.html |access-date=2022-03-23 |website=medlineplus.gov))</ref>

These can be classified as [[endocrine disorder]]s or as a disorders of the [[reproductive system]].

If the egg fails to release from the [[Ovarian follicle|follicle]] in the [[ovary]] an [[ovarian cyst]] may form. Small [[ovarian cyst]]s are common in healthy women. Some women have more follicles than usual ([[polycystic ovary syndrome]]), which inhibits the follicles to grow normally and this will cause cycle irregularities.

Various types of ovarian diseases exist. Some of the ovarian diseases or disorders include: [[endometriosis]], [[ovarian cyst]]s, [[Ovarian cancer|ovarian epithelial cancer]], [[ovarian germ cell tumors]], ovarian low malignant potential tumors, and polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS).

== Endometriosis ==
[[Endometriosis]] is a condition in which tissues lining the uterus (endometrial stroma and gland) grows abnormally beyond the uterus that may become quite painful. In simpler terms, it means that the tissue lining the uterus develops in different parts outside of it. It can be either at ovary, fallopian tubes, or peritoneal spaces.<ref name="medical_news_today">((Cite news |url=https://www.medicalnewstoday.com/articles/149109.php |title=Endometriosis: Symptoms, causes, and treatments|work=Medical News Today|access-date=2018-10-27|language=en))</ref>

There is no single cause of endometriosis.<ref>((Cite news|url=https://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/endometriosis/symptoms-causes/syc-20354656|title=Endometriosis - Symptoms and causes|work=Mayo Clinic|access-date=2018-10-27|language=en))</ref>

Symptoms:

Menstrual cramps, heavy menstrual bleeding, bowel or urinary problems, nausea, vomiting, blood with stools, painful intercourse, fatigues, spotting or bleeding between periods.<ref name="medical_news_today" />

Treatment:

# Surgery at extreme situations
# Hormonal treatments using birth controls.
# Healthier lifestyle.<ref name="medical_news_today" />

== Ovarian cysts ==
((Main|Ovarian cyst))

It is common for many women to develop a cyst in their lifetime.<ref>((Cite web |title=Ovarian Cysts |url=https://medlineplus.gov/ovariancysts.html |access-date=2022-03-23 |website=medlineplus.gov))</ref> At times, these can go unnoticed without pain or visible symptoms. A cyst may develop in either of the ovaries that are responsible for producing hormones and carrying eggs. Ovarian cysts can be of various types, such as [[dermoid cyst]]s, endometrioma cysts, and the [[Ovarian cyst|functional cyst]].((medical citation needed|date=July 2023))

Symptoms:

# Abdominal bloating or swelling.
# Painful bowel movement.
# Pelvic pain before or after the [[menstrual cycle]].
# Painful intercourse.
# Pain in the lower back or thighs.
# Breast tenderness.
# Nausea and vomiting.
# Fever.
# Rapid breathing.
# Faintness or dizziness.
# Sharp pelvic pain.

Treatment:

# Taking of [[Oral contraceptive pill|oral contraceptives]] or birth control pills as prescribed by the doctor.
# [[Laparoscopy]]: Surgery to remove the cyst.
# [[Hysterectomy]] in case the cyst is cancerous.

== Ovarian epithelial cancer ==
It is one of the common ovarian cancers that affect women worldwide.<ref>((Cite news|url=https://www.webmd.com/ovarian-cancer/ovarian-epithelial-cancer#1|title=What Is Ovarian Epithelial Cancer?|work=WebMD|access-date=2018-10-27|language=en-US))</ref> It develops outside the ovaries and ultimately spreads outside and can affect other organs.

Causes:

It may happen if there is a family medical history of [[breast cancer]], [[Colon cancer staging|colon cancer]], [[rectal cancer]] or [[uterine cancer]], [[Hereditary nonpolyposis colorectal cancer|or Lynch syndrome]]. If someone is under [[Hormone replacement therapy|Estrogen Replacement Therapy]] for a long time. Smoking habits may also lead to the same. [https://www.webmd.com/ovarian-cancer/ovarian-epithelial-cancer#1]

Treatment:((Citation needed|date=February 2020))

# Surgery to remove the uterus.
# [[Chemotherapy]].

== Ovarian germ cell tumors ==
[[Ovarian germ cell tumors]] are common among teenagers and young women. It is a growth in the ovaries. [https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/books/NBK65925/]

Causes:

Though the exact causes are not known, it may happen owing to certain birth defects affecting the genitals, nervous system or the urinary tract. There may be genetic conditions affecting the sex chromosomes that result in these kind of tumors as well.<ref>((Citation|last=PDQ Adult Treatment Editorial Board|title=Ovarian Germ Cell Tumors Treatment (PDQ®): Patient Version|date=2002|url=https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/books/NBK65925/|work=PDQ Cancer Information Summaries|publisher=National Cancer Institute (US)|pmid=26389363|access-date=2018-10-27))</ref>

Symptoms((Citation needed|date=February 2020))

# Belly swelling.
# Pain or pressure in the belly.
# Swollen abdomen.
# Vaginal bleeding after [[menopause]].

Treatment:((Citation needed|date=February 2020))

# Surgery to remove the tumor, or the [[Fallopian tube]]s or one or more ovaries.
# Hysterectomy.
# Chemotherapy in case the tumor is cancerous.
# [[Radiation therapy]] to prevent the cancerous cells from developing.

== Ovarian low malignant potential tumors ==
The tumor forms in the ovaries and gradually spreads to the outside of ovary. This mostly affects younger women and also hinders the reproductive system.<ref name="webmd">((Cite news|url=https://www.webmd.com/ovarian-cancer/ovarian-low-malignant-potential-tumors#1|title=What Are Ovarian Low Malignant Potential Tumors?|work=WebMD|access-date=2018-10-27|language=en-US))</ref>

Causes:

Causes are debatable and these may occur to both pregnant women and women who do not opt for pregnancy

Symptoms:((Citation needed|date=February 2020))

# Abdominal pain or swelling.
# Bowel problems or constipation.

Treatment:

Depending on the size of the tumor, choice of pregnancy, the spreading of the tumor, age and choices, removing the affected ovary is the most common treatment. In rare situations, the tumor is taken out of the ovary. Also, hysterectomy can be an option.<ref name="webmd" />

==Polycystic ovary syndrome==
((main|Polycystic ovary syndrome))
This is a hormonal imbalance, where [[androgen]]s (also called male hormones) are elevated.((medical citation needed|date=July 2023))

The increased level of androgens may result in irregular menstrual cycle and diabetes and heart problem in the long run. It also affects the body in various ways like problem getting pregnant, sleep apnea, depression and anxiety, can enhance the risk of endometrial cancer.
