cystic ovarian degeneration (disease)

includes cystic follicle, luteal cyst, cystic corpus luteum (above). A major cause of reproductive failure and economic loss in dairy cattle. Results in an increase in days open in the post partum period and an increase in culling rates for reproductive failure. It occurs when a mature follicle fails to ovulate as a result of exogenous or endogenous disruption of the hypothalamo-hypophyseal-ovarian axis; the resultant anovulatory follicular structure can regress or persist as a follicular cyst or a luteal cyst depending on its structural characteristics. Diagnosis and differentiation of follicular cysts and luteal cysts has traditionally been by rectal palpation but ultrasound examination is more accurate.

cystic pancreatic duct

Patient discussion about cystic follicle.

Q. Do women with cystic fibrosis have difficult pregnancy? My wife has cystic fibrosis, and after 3 year of marriage we decided we want a baby. I know that men with cystic fibrosis are usually infertile and can’t have children- is that the case also for women with cystic fibrosis? Is the pregnancy in women with cystic fibrosis more problematic? Is it dangerous?

A. Before you attempt a pregnancy, you should consult her doctor to make sure she can tolerate it, because very severe disease can make the pregnancy dangerous for her. If her disease isn’t so severe, usually there are no special problems.

Q. Can cystic fibrosis patients have children? My boyfriend has cystic fibrosis, and currently he’s treated with many medications but usually healthy (other than pneumonia from hospitalization from time to time). I heard that men with cystic fibrosis can’t have children - is that true? Is there anything he can do about it?

A. WE ARE A HEALTHY COUPLE BUT MY WIFE NEVER GET PREGNANT IN 20 YEARS OF RELATIONSHIP.
I'M SO SORRY ABOUT MY ENGLISH, I'M LEARNING.
