Uterus Anterior Section Polycystic Ovary

Description

An anterior cross section of the uterus showing polycystic ovaries. Both ovaries are enlarged and contain numerous small follicular cysts arranged peripherally beneath a thickened ovarian capsule, creating the characteristic pearl necklace appearance on cross section. Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is the most common endocrine disorder in reproductive-age women, affecting 6 to 12 percent. The multiple small follicles represent arrested follicular development, and the hormonal imbalance causes irregular menstruation, anovulation, hirsutism, and metabolic complications including insulin resistance. The model supports endocrinology education, fertility medicine teaching, and patient counseling. Reviewed by a medical advisory board. Ready for rendering, real-time, and 3D printing.
