Can the reproductive system of a female function it there is only one ovary?

The reproductive system of a female can function with only one ovary. In fact, many women are born with only one ovary and are able to menstruate, ovulate, and get pregnant.

The ovaries are responsible for producing eggs and releasing them into the fallopian tubes. Each month, one ovary releases an egg during ovulation. If a woman only has one ovary, the other ovary will take over and release eggs every month.

Women who have only one ovary may have a lower chance of getting pregnant than women who have two ovaries. However, many women with one ovary are able to conceive and have children without any problems.

If you have only one ovary, it is important to see your doctor regularly to make sure that you are ovulating and that you are not experiencing any other problems with your reproductive system.
