The human male and female reproductive cycles are controlled by the interaction of hormones from the hypothalamus and anterior pituitary with hormones from reproductive tissues and organs. In both sexes, the hypothalamus monitors and causes the release of hormones from the pituitary gland. When the reproductive hormone is required, the hypothalamus sends a gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) to the anterior pituitary. This causes the release of follicle stimulating hormone (FSH) and luteinizing hormone (LH) from the anterior pituitary into the blood. Note that the body must reach puberty in order for GnRH to be produced. Although FSH and LH are named after their functions in female reproduction, they are produced in both sexes and play important roles in controlling reproduction. Other hormones have specific functions in the male and female reproductive systems. (Excerpted from Human Biology by Sarah Malmquist and Kristina Prescott is licensed under Creative Commons)
The reproductive systems in male and female are made up of the glands, ducts, and supporting structures which produce mature sperm (in the male) and mature ova (in the female) as well as producing hormones which affect physical characteristics and various cyclical functions.
Among males, the testes produce sperm and secrete hormones, mainly testosterone. Testosterone functions not only to develop and maintain the secondary male sex characteristics and adult sexual behavior, but it has many other purposes. It helps maintain the structure of the reproductive system, such as the prostate gland. It helps regulate metabolism in the body by stimulating protein anabolism causing the generally greater musculature development in the male. It influences fluid and electrolyte processes by helping regulate sodium and potassium levels. It interacts with the anterior pituitary by stopping the pituitary secretion of gonadotropin hormones when testosterone reaches a certain level. On the other hand, the anterior pituitary stimulates testosterone secretion by releasing gonadotropins when the blood level of testosterone falls too low.
The prostate gland produces and secrets an alkaline fluid which helps protect sperm from destruction in the acid environment of the vagina. Many older men experience enlargement of the prostate. Shaped like a donut, the prostate surrounds the urethra, and as it enlarges, the urethra can become so constricted that urination is difficult or impossible.
Ovarian functions in the female are twofold: ova are produced, matured, and finally ejected into the uterus at regular intervals, and hormones (mostly oestrogens, but also very small quantities of progesterone) are produced and secreted. Similar to the case with males, the anterior pituitary in females produce gonadotropins which are released into the bloodstream when the female hormones fall below a certain concentration. The cyclical interaction of the gonadotropins and ovarian-produced hormones determine the sequence of events in the female cycles associated with the reproductive system--ovulation, menstruation, and also changes in the breasts among most women. That is, the hormone secretion rates of the anterior pituitary and the ovaries alternately stimulate and inhibit one another to produce these cycles by altering the body chemistry and specific ways that produce specific, periodic changes in the reproductive organs and glands. The hypothalamus in the brain takes part in this process by its secretion of hormones which stimulate pituitary activity.

The Reproductive System As Seen in the Iris
Through Iridology we may note general health of the reproductive system as well as the causes and sources, the roots of possible disfunction and as such properly address these directly through detox, diet, and lifestyle adjustments rather than the vaguer approach of addressing common symptoms of disfunction related to the reproductive system.
As noted by Dr. Jensen, pregnancy cannot be seen in the iris as it is a normal and healthy physiological state. However, troubles related to pregnancy such as infertility or pregnancy loss may be better understood through the lens of iridology.
Location of Reproductive Organs:
The Testes/Ovary zone is located at radial zones 5:00 in the left eye and 7:00 in the right eye (Ovaries in concentric zone 4 and Testes in concentric zones 5,6,7). The Penis/Vagina and Prostate/Uterus zones are both located at 7:00 in the left eye and 5:00 in the right eye (Uterus/Prostate in concentric zone 3, Vagina concentric zones 4-7 and Penis 5-7). The breast area is noted in a specific area (in concentric zone 4) as well as contained within a radial zone at 8:30 in the right eye and 3:30 in the left eye.
The Sexuality Brain Zone: As noted by Dr. Jensen, the Sex Impulse/Mental Sex Area is located at 11.3 o’clock (adjacent to the Medulla at 11:00) in the right eye only.
Within these areas, take note of different iris markings such as radii solaris, dark streaks/light streaks, lacuna, drug deposit/psora pigmentation spots, nerve rings. All of these indicate varying levels of inherited and/or acquired weakness, stress and disfunction. Noting the origination of said weaknesses (for example a lacuna in sigmoid colon leading into ovary) gives insight into proper detox/healing approach. The digestive system so often being the center and origination of trouble and toxicity in the body is especially the case here in the reproductive system, specifically the sigmoid colon affecting the health of the ovary (in the left eye) and the pancreas adjacent to and affecting the Testes/Ovary zone (right eye) is often related to weakness in the reproductive system.
Consider significant radial relationships such as: (1) Uterus/Prostate and Penis/Vagina radial to the Sex Impulse/Mental Sex Brain Zone (right eye only); (2) Testes/Ovary radial to the Forehead/Mental Ability brain zone (both eyes).
These radials may be understood through contemplation of each area’s related form and function, both physically and spiritually. (more specific information on these radials given by Dr. Jensen and Farida Sharan found here).
Also related to the overall health of the reproductive system is the Pituitary (and Hypothalamus) and Adrenal glands.
Sexual vitality may be seen not only in the Sexuality brain zone but also somewhat in the Vitality brain zone as well as the Thyroid.

The Sexuality Brain Zone - Sex Impulse / Mental Sex
The mental response area of the sex organs in the cerebellum is between 11 and 12 in the right iris. Note that it is directly opposite the uterus, prostate, and vaginal areas. Here are found recordings regarding the sex life, the sex impulse, perversion, and mental sex questions. A sign of acute inflammation and these sex centers indicates perversion, masturbation, undo passion, or overstimulation of the sexual organs. It may indicate an upset sexual life or fear of impotence. A chronic dark line is a definite sign that inhibition of sexual impulses, and coldness and frigidity, are developing. Such a person will feel repulsion toward the opposite sex and indifference regarding sexual matters in general. Our ideals will be intensified whenever an acute white inflammatory stage exists in this mental center. When a dark area representing a chronic condition develops, there is always a weakening of willpower. The area opposite in the left iris, includes the equilibrium and epileptic center. You will find here many closely related conditions. There is a direct relation between the epileptic and the sex centers in most cases, and there are other related organs in the sexual system which will be taken up later period all glands have an interrelated effect and every organ plays a definite part in the reproductive system.
We find that the sexual energy and motivation level is reflected in the brain area of the right iris at 11.3 o'clock, the sex impulse mental sex area. If there is an inherent weakness in this area, it is seldom that we will find a normal physical sex drive. More generally, it is under active.
On the other hand, it is possible to be mentally hyperactive in this area and physically under active as far as the sex drive is concerned, although we do not often find this to be the case. Mental attitude and physical well-being are both important to healthy sexuality and we cannot say that one is more important than the other. Both are important.
There are many factors which affect reproductive system function. The fatigue that accompanies adrenal gland exhaustion may cause loss of sexual interest. Lowered sex drive may result from thyroid hypoactivity or anemia. Recently, it was found that medications and drugs have a suppressive effect on the sexual drive and contribute to impotence. When the animation life center at 12 o'clock is under active, the zest for any activity is lowered. As in the case of all systems in the body, the health of the reproductive system is dependent upon the condition of other systems, organs, and tissues of the body.

Prolapse
Prolapsus of the transverse colon and consequent pressure on the pelvic organs can interfere with the circulation of the blood to these organs. Prolapses can contribute to prostate troubles in males and ovarian trouble in females. In extreme cases, it can lead to sterility in females. In less severe conditions, it can result in irregular menstruation and cramps. Ovarian cysts may develop following prolapse. Pressure on the uterus may cause it to become prolapsed, with consequent problems.
Reproductive area nerve rings (From Farida Sharan's Iridology - A Complete Guide)
Whether in the breast, ovary, uterus, or prostate, penis iris areas. Nerve rings which point to and accentuate these areas suggest either the tendency to or manifestation of toxicity, tumours, cysts, inflammation and pain. Whenever radiation treatment has focused on an ovary, short nerve rings can point to the area indicating high Ievels of stress. These fade out as the tissues recover.
Radial lines
The forehead-ovary/testes line
Also known as the brain-ovary line. The ‘mental ability’ area of the brain deals with higher thought. It is here that an individual’s choice or destiny between the development of maternity, family and a sex life or a mental, spiritual life where controls such as family planning, chastity or continence are practiced. While it is possible to have a harmonious balance between the two, many times the balance shifts completely and a radial will manifest in a woman completely given over to child bearing and rearing without any time or opportunity to develop the mental aspects of her being.
She will suffer from headache, travel-sickness, giddiness, bedwetting, short stubby fingernails and small breast nipples. The strain of child bearing takes its toll. The concentration of energy required to produce and rear offspring registers in the iris as an imbalance. In fact, either ovarian deficiency or fertility affects the forebrain, which also houses the sex instincts for preservation of the species.
Ovarian cysts often result from conflict between two potentials of a woman’s life: either a strong drive for creative mental or spiritual fulfilment or motherhood and a normal family life. It is significant whether the iris marking is on the left eye or the right eye or both.
These same principles apply to the male. Does he choose to express his energy in sexual ways, or does he transmute this power into creativity, study or spirituality? Sexual excesses manifest themselves as dark or white signs. As many of these toxic signs originate in the bowel, these conditions can be relieved by cleansing and regenerative programmes.
The cerebellum-uterus line and the cerebellum-rectum/anus line
The right iris radial manifests a relationship between the sex impulse brain flair and the uterus, prostate area. The left iris manifests a relationship between the equilibrium brain flair and the rectum/anus area. The right mental area when activated or underfunctioning results in fantasies, dreams and lack of reality about one’s normal sexuality and produces a hysterical noisy patient who suffers from headaches. Extreme fear of sexuality and hysteria can manifest as obsessional mental disorders, or influence a person’s life so that normal love and sexuality are denied them.
