Determinación de volumen ovárico en la población femenina de 14 a 35 años

Abstract

: Objective: To determine the ovarian volume values in women aged 14 to 35 year who consulted at the Radiology and Diagnostic Imaging Service of the Hospital Vargas de Caracas between January to April 2022. Methods: The study population included 213 healthy women of childbearing age. Age, body mass index, and longitudinal, anteroposterior, and transverse measurements of the ovary, multiplied by 0.52 to calculate ovarian volume, were recorded. Results: The mean ovarian volume of the patients was 7.4 ± 3.5 cc. The volume of the right ovary was significantly greater than the left ovary (8.1 cc vs 6.8 cc p < 0.005). No significant differences were found for ovarian volume, age or body mass index. Conclusion: These local ultrasound values are not similar to those of international studies carried out 32 years ago, making clear the need to continue working on national reference values that reflect the phenotypic changes established in recent decades
