“…Although a compensatory increase in contralateral ovarian volume has been observed in unilaterally oophorectomized young women [16] The data in the literature are coherent in showing that onset of menopause occurs slightly earlier, suggesting that some compensatory mechanism takes place.…”

“…Seventy-three studies were identified, which reported information on ovarian volume calculated using the formula for a prolate ellipsoid. Among them, 65 studies enrolled women in their reproductive years, whereas 6 [ 31 , 35 a and b, 48 a, 57 b, 59 ] enrolled girls of pre-pubertal age, one newborn [ 75 ] and one post-menopausal woman [ 30 ]. When considering the 65 studies including women in their reproductive years ( n = 4107 subjects, mean age 27.42 years), the overall mean ovarian volume was 6.11 [5.81–6.42] ml (Fig.…”

“…Among the studies on women in their reproductive years, 62 provided information on the mean age or the age range of the sample. We analyzed the studies according to the above-mentioned 5 age sub-groups, and found a mean ovarian volume of 6.46 [5.83–7.09] ml in the 1st group (< 20 years; n = 9 studies) [ 29 , 42 , 48 b, 55 , 57 a, 73 a and b, 85 , 98 ], 5.79 [5.04–6.55] ml in the 2nd group (≄ 20 and < 25 years; n = 9 studies) [ 24 , 34 , 36 , 39 , 56 , 71 , 77 , 82 , 87 ], 6.02 [5.38–6.67] ml in the 3rd group (≄ 25 and < 30 years; n = 17 studies) [ 3 , 4 , 25 , 26 , 37 , 43 , 44 , 47 , 50 , 65 , 67 , 69 , 74 , 92 , 100 – 102 ], 5.98 [5.44–6.51] ml in the 4th group (≄ 30 and < 35 years; n = 18 studies) [ 28 , 38 , 46 , 51 – 53 , 61 , 64 , 66 , 70 , 78 – 80 , 84 , 86 , 96 , 97 , 99 ], and 6.28 [5.43–7.13] ml in the 5th group (≄ 35 years; n = 9 studies) [ 41 , 49 , 54 , 62 , 83 , 91 b and c, 94 , 95 ], respectively (Fig. 4 ).…”

“…Prior instances where the remaining ovary was removed due to pathology have resulted in surgical menopause [ 38 ]. Studies show that in cases where one ovary is removed, the remaining ovary becomes hypertrophied [ 84 , 85 ]. Prophylactic oophoropexy may be considered as these patients have one remaining ovary, possible history of prior torsion, and compensatory hypertrophy that may increase the risk of torsion.…”
