🔬 Medical science
The ovaries store eggs and produce estrogen and progesterone, governing the menstrual cycle and fertility. Conditions include functional cysts, polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) and ovarian cancer, with BRCA mutations and family history as key risk factors.
Diagnosis uses ultrasound, hormone tests and tumor markers; treatment ranges from hormonal therapy to surgery and chemotherapy.
🧩 The GNM model
Claimed conflict: GNM links the ovaries to a "loss conflict" (loss of a child or loved one) or a "semi-genital" conflict involving a male partner.
Germ layer & brain relay (GNM model): GNM classes the ovarian interstitial tissue as new mesoderm controlled from the cerebral medulla.
Two-phase course (claimed): GNM claims ovarian tissue undergoes necrosis during the conflict-active phase and forms cysts that solidify during the healing phase — reframing ovarian cysts as "healing."
