How many follicles are normal?

The process of female pregnancy refers to the whole process from the successful fusion of egg cell and sperm to embryo implantation. Whether the sperm and egg can combine successfully depends on the time when they meet, and on the maturity and quality of the sperm and egg respectively. The egg cell is released after the egg is mature. If the egg is immature, the egg cell cannot be discharged completely. At this time, many women will immediately want to know whether it is normal for one egg to have more than one egg, and they are particularly worried that they will encounter anovulation.

The eggs are normal.

When a newborn baby is born, there are about 150,000 to 500,000 eggs in the uterus and ovaries. In an adult, only about 400 to 500 of them are fully developed, and the rest are all atrophied. After menopause, there are basically no eggs in the uterus. The left ovary of an adult woman has 6-15 eggs, and the right ovary has 3-9 eggs. Values ​​similar to this range are all normal, and there are not many problems if they are close to this value.

The reason why follicles do not grow

1. Premature ovarian failure: The reason why some women’s follicles fail to grow is due to premature ovarian failure. Women may have normal menstruation in the early stage, and even have a history of pregnancy, but then have less menstrual blood, until they completely stop menstruating. In this case, the eggs in the uterus and ovaries have been exhausted, and it is impossible to use ovulation-inducing drugs to expand the uterus, or although there are original eggs, they have no response to gonadotropins.

2. Polycystic ovary syndrome: Polycystic ovary syndrome is one of the reasons why follicles fail to grow. Polycystic ovary syndrome is the most common cause of anovulation in women. The characteristics of its ovaries are that the ovarian volume is enlarged and there are many small eggs, but they cannot grow to perfection, so therapeutic drugs are needed to promote uterine development.

3. Endocrine function problems: Impairment of the hypothalamic-pituitary gland's regulation of the pituitary gland's function or abnormal metabolism of the uterus and ovaries themselves can cause poor uterine development, such as endocrine diseases such as hyperactivity of the adrenal glands and low thyroid hormone.

Eggs play an important role in human reproduction, so everyone should pay attention to whether their number and development are normal. If any abnormalities are found, see a doctor in time for communication.

How to treat immature eggs

First, the common way to deal with immature eggs is to take medicine to promote the perfection of eggs so that ovulation can occur. On the contrary, if you don't want the egg to be perfect, you have to take drugs that slow down the egg perfection. Common emergency contraception uses this principle. In addition to taking medication, patients can use growth hormone to promote egg perfection. Many patients with irregular menstruation will use injections to promote ovulation, and injections are injections of growth hormone that promote ovulation.

Second, another reason for the immaturity of eggs is that there is less estrogen in the female body, which cannot support the maturity of eggs and ovulation. Therefore, patients need to choose to eat some foods rich in estrogen in their daily life. Among all foods, beans and grains contain relatively more estrogen. At the same time, drinking more soy milk can also increase the body's estrogen.

Third, when young female patients notice irregular menstruation or amenorrhea, they should seek medical attention immediately, because there are many causes of amenorrhea, and egg immaturity is only one of them. Patients should determine the cause of the disease after seeing a doctor and then start treatment.
