Congenital torsion of ovary is a rare disorder that occurs when the ovary is abnormally twisted on itself, cutting off the blood supply to the ovary. this can happen during fetal development or shortly after birth. it is more common in women with a history of pelvic surgery, a history of ovarian cysts, or a history of pelvic inflammatory disease.

What happens during the disease - congenital torsion of ovary

Congenital torsion of ovary is a rare condition which occurs due to abnormal development of the uterus and ovaries during fetal development. it is caused by an abnormal attachment of the ligaments and muscles to the uterus, resulting in the ovary being pulled in an abnormal direction and twisting, which can lead to reduced blood flow and eventual tissue death. this can cause pain, infertility, and other complications.
