ULTRASONOGRAPHHIC DETERMINATION OF TRANSVAGINAL AND TRANSABDOMINAL OVARIAN VOLUME IN PORT HARCOURT, RIVERS STATE
Journal Title: European Journal of Biomedical and Pharmaceutical Sciences - Year 2019, Vol 6, Issue 3
Abstract
The length, width and anteroposterior dimensions of both the right and left ovaries were measured with an ultrasound machine, ovarian volume was determined using the prolate ellipsisoid formula. The research is a prospective study of 40 non-pregnant and healthy gynaecological healthy females within the age (16-40 years) chosen randomly from the diagnostic center in Pearl Creation Scan, Rumuorosi, Port Harcourt. The mean ovarian volume were found to be 12.95cm3 and 13.41cm3 for the right and left respectively. A mean (right and left) range from 10.90cm3 to 17.40cm3 was also established, significant correlation were noted between age and weight in relationship to ovarian volume. The knowledge of this study is relevant to reproductive biologist in the diagnosis and treatment of fertility cases.
