The Life Cycle of Your Ovaries (YouTube Video #415)

The Life Cycle of Your Ovaries — From Busy Factory to Quiet Retirement

Your ovaries live a very different lifespan than you do—and understanding that cycle is the key to understanding ovarian cancer. In this eye-opening episode, Dr. Barbara 'Menopause' Taylor walks you through the full life cycle of your ovaries, from tiny and dormant before puberty, to plump and busy during your reproductive years, to shriveled and silent after menopause. You’ll learn why ovarian cysts can be completely normal before menopause—and why any ovarian swelling after menopause is never normal. Clear, logical, and unforgettable, this foundational lesson sets you up to understand what comes next in the ovarian cancer unit.
