A total number of 1000 genital tracts were examined for utero-ovarian disorders. Out of which 84 genitalia showed one or more lesions in the ovary, oviduct and uterus. A total of 54 cases out of 84 showed lesions in the ovaries. The follicular cysts were the most common condition and were recorded in 14 cases (1.4%). The other conditions encountered were ovarian hypoplasia (0.6%), luteal cyst (0.3 %), embedded corpus luteum (0.3 %), persistent corpus luteum (0.2 %), ovarian haematoma (0.2 %), ovarian sclerosis(0.4 %), senile atrophy (0.3 %), follicular atresia (0.4 %), epoophoron (0.2 %), serous inclusion cyst (0.2 %), parovarian cyst (0.6 %) and perioophoritis (0.3 %). Seven cases showed lesions in the oviduct. The conditions encountered were hydrosalpinx (0.2 %), hyperplasia of the salpingeal epithelium (0.2 %) and ovario-bursal adhesion (0.3%).Uterine disorders were recorded in 36 cases. The conditions encountered were cystic endometrial hyperplasia (0.6%), adenomyosis (0.4 %), mucometra (0.4 %), perimetrial cyst (0.6%), endometritis (1.4 %) and metritis (0.2%). The histopathological changes of all these conditions have been studied in detail and the possible pathogenesis described. The various pathological changes associated with reproductive disorders are suggestive of endocrine imbalances, multiple nutritional deficiencies, infectious nature, managemental factors and developmental defects. The results of the study highlighted the need to monitor the hormonal levels in the blood, micronutrients and managemental factors.
Lesions of varying frequency in pituitary, thyroid and adrenal glands were recorded in 23 out of 84 cases with utero-ovarian lesions examined. Lesions observed in the pituitary glands were pituitary abscess (1), Pituitary cyst (6) and pituitary apoplexy (2). In the thyroid gland, lesions recorded were hypoplasia (7), colloid goitre (5) and nodular goitre (2). Lesions observed in the adrenal glands were cortical hypoplasia (2), cortical hyperplasia (5) and medullary hyperplasia (8). Correlation study has highlighted that in many of the utero-ovarian disorders there were concurrent affections of the endocrine glands particularly pituitary, adrenal and thyroid glands which is of major significance.
