Poor follicle growth

The maturity of the follicles is directly linked to the quality of the eggs, so every woman should pay attention to whether the follicles are healthy and mature. Especially for women who are preparing for pregnancy, they should pay more attention to the maturity of the follicles, so that they can effectively infer the quality of the eggs and the time of conception. However, many women who are preparing for pregnancy have problems with immature follicles. What are the treatment options at this time?

Causes of poor follicular development

There are many causes of immature follicle development, the most common ones include polycystic ovary, abnormal estrogen and progesterone levels, and low follicle-stimulating hormone levels.

1. Premature ovarian failure: Poor follicle development in some women is caused by premature ovarian failure. The patient has normal menstruation in the early stage and even has a history of childbearing, but then the menstruation becomes infrequent until complete amenorrhea. The follicles in the ovaries of such patients have been exhausted, and it is impossible to use ovulation-stimulating drugs to make the follicles develop, or although there are primordial follicles, they do not respond to gonadotropins.

2. Polycystic ovary syndrome: Polycystic ovary is one of the reasons for poor follicle development. Polycystic ovary syndrome is the most common reason why women do not ovulate. The characteristics of its ovaries are that the ovaries are enlarged in size and have multiple small follicles, but they cannot develop to maturity. Therefore, drugs are needed to promote follicle development.

3. Ovulation disorders caused by abnormal function of the thyroid and adrenal cortex.

What to do if the follicles are not developing well

If the follicles are underdeveloped, forcibly using ovulation-inducing drugs in a short period of time to force ovulation will cause the eggs to be released, but they will be immature and therefore cannot lead to normal conception. Even if the sperm and egg combine, miscarriage, stillbirth, etc. are likely to occur.

For those with poor follicular development, ovulation-inducing drugs can generally be used, and chorionic gonadotropin can also be used. If combined with Chinese medicine, the effect is more ideal. Generally speaking, the infertility treatment effect of biphasic body temperature is better than that of monophasic body temperature. On the basis of syndrome differentiation and treatment, patients with small follicle ovulation cycle and small follicle luteinization cycle can use ovulation-promoting capsules (the main drugs are cooked rehmannia, xianlingpi, wolfberry, glossy privet, cornus fruit, antler frost, angelica, roasted astragalus, etc.) on the fifth day of the menstrual cycle, while patients with unruptured follicle luteinization cycle should take kidney-tonifying, essence-replenishing, blood-stasis-removing and collateral-draining products before ovulation, which has a better effect.
