N83: Noninflammatory disorders of ovary, fallopian tube and broad ligament
N83.3: Acquired atrophy of ovary and fallopian tube
The ovaries are part of the female genitals. There are two ovaries, one on each side. The ovaries sit low down in the abdomen. Egg cells mature in the ovaries. The egg cells can later develop into a child. The ovaries also produce various messenger substances. The two fallopian tubes go to the right and left of the ovaries towards the womb. They are like tubes and they transport the egg cells from the ovaries to the uterus.
In your case, your ovaries and fallopian tubes have atrophied. As a result, they may be smaller or almost entirely absent. This may happen as part of the aging process. But it can also be caused by various diseases.
