Which organ is almond-shaped and located in the pelvis beside the uterus?

Almond-shaped organs in the pelvis beside the uterus are the ovaries. They come in pairs, located on either side of the uterus near where the fallopian tubes connect, and they both release eggs and produce hormones like estrogen and progesterone. The uterus is a larger, pear-shaped organ in the center; the vagina is the canal leading to the outside, and the cervix is the narrow lower part of the uterus. So the description matches the ovaries.
