Poor follicle growth

The health quality of follicles is closely related to the health quality of eggs. As we all know, one of the main reasons for a woman to get pregnant is the egg, so if the egg is unhealthy, it will also affect the direct formation of the fertilized egg. Conscious couples will check the quality of their eggs and sperm through tests in the hospital before preparing for pregnancy. So what should a woman do if her ovarian follicles do not grow well?

1. Reasons for poor egg quality

1. Age: Egg quality decreases with age

In today's society, late marriage and late childbirth seem to have become a trend, and even DINK families are not uncommon. However, female friends need to note that as they age, their fertility and egg quality are constantly declining. According to the latest scientific research results, the possibility of a daughter born to a mother over 35 or even in her 40s suffering from infertility in the future will be greatly increased. Scientists claim that not only do women become less able to conceive as they age, but daughters born at an advanced age are also more likely to experience infertility problems as adults.

The quality of eggs is closely related to the age of women. As women age, the age of their eggs also increases. Therefore, the ability of eggs to be fertilized, cultured and grow in the uterus will decrease significantly as women age. The decline in egg quality is the main cause of infertility and miscarriage in many older women. The younger the mother is at birth, the easier it is to conceive. This also means that the older the mother is when giving birth, the more negative impact it will have on her daughter's fertility.

The best childbearing age for women is 20 to 35 years old. Women's childbearing age and reproductive age are not only the decisive factors for whether they can successfully give birth, but also affect their daughters' future fertility.

2. Abortion

Artificial abortion is the "number one killer" of egg quality. After abortion, many sisters will experience a sudden drop in hormone levels in their bodies, which will affect the living environment of the eggs and lead to reduced egg quality and vitality.

3. Bad living habits

Some women often smoke, drink, stay up late or have irregular diets. Although this may be due to work reasons, no matter what the reason is, there is only one result: it affects the quality of your eggs.

If your living habits are messy, your body's endocrine regulation system and ovarian function will be easily damaged, which will directly affect the quality of eggs and thus affect conception, not to mention giving birth to a smart baby.

4. Having sex during menstruation or having sexually transmitted diseases

Some girls cannot control themselves during their menstrual period and have sex during their menstrual period. Although this is very "brave" and they are not afraid of the majesty of their period, it can easily cause the body to produce anti-sperm antibodies, which reduces the vitality of the eggs.

In addition, if you are not self-disciplined enough, have unclean sex life, and do not pay much attention to hygiene, you are also prone to sexually transmitted diseases. This will mostly induce pelvic inflammatory disease, damage the function of female fallopian tubes, and greatly reduce the vitality of eggs.

2. How to improve the quality of eggs?

Perhaps some women become dependent on the effects of the medication. However, medicine is three-part poison, so it is better to focus on physical conditioning for good health. Next, let’s take a look at how to improve egg quality.

1. How to improve egg quality: Diet adjustment

Five days after each menstruation, buy a one-pound water fish, add 10 grams of wolfberry, 10 grams of taro meat, and 10 grams of yam, and stew for about 45 minutes. Start taking it five days after menstruation. If the follicles are not good, you can take it one more time. Because this soup is meant to promote the growth of follicles, you don't need to drink so much. Drink it once on the fifth day after each menstruation. If the follicles are monitored to be large enough, you don't need to drink it a second time. If the follicles are not large enough, you can drink it one more time. Each cycle repeats.

In addition, foods that are naturally low in fat are preferred. The more raw and unprocessed the food is, the more it can retain its nutrients and energy, and it can also prevent you from ingesting substances including pesticides, growth promoters, etc. that may harm your eggs. At the same time, the three meals a day should be based on the principle of low oil and low fat, and eat less fast food. Excessive fat will not only increase the burden on the body, but also increase the intake of non-physiological hormones, affecting the quality of eggs and ovulation cycle. In addition, caffeine can also have a negative impact on hormone secretion and reduce the probability of conception. Therefore, coffee should be limited to 2 cups a day and tea should not exceed 5 cups a day, especially do not drink strong tea.

2. How to improve egg quality: proper exercise

Appropriate physical exercise can help women improve their physical fitness and ensure the quality of eggs. Therefore, any woman who is planning to get pregnant should engage in regular exercise for a period of time before becoming pregnant. For example, three months before planning pregnancy, you can engage in appropriate and reasonable exercise or related physical training, such as jogging, soft gymnastics, swimming, Tai Chi, etc., to improve your physical fitness and lay a solid foundation for pregnancy.

You may want to try the "three threes" aerobic exercise: aerobic exercise is a powerful weapon to improve the body's metabolism and avoid the harm of sitting for a long time, such as swimming, walking, jogging, cycling, etc. If the body's metabolism is good, the endocrine system can function normally and the eggs can receive the best care. The "three-three" exercise plan is worth recommending, that is, exercise at least 3 days a week, not less than 30 minutes a day, and keep the heart rate at around 130 beats per minute during exercise.

3. How to improve egg quality: adjust your mood

According to research, when stress persists or occurs frequently, the body produces a large amount of an "anxiety hormone" called cortisone, which increases the feeling of tension. Excessive secretion of a single hormone disrupts the original hormone balance, leading to endocrine disorders and affecting the ovarian's ability to ovulate. Therefore, reducing stress and relieving tension in moderation can effectively ensure a good pregnancy.

4. How to improve egg quality: adjust diet

Try to quit smoking and drinking, avoid overeating and nutritional imbalance. In daily life, you should also eat more black beans, soy milk, and boiled fish soup. Black beans can prevent premature ovarian failure, and soy milk can effectively adjust the endocrine system to avoid endocrine disorders affecting ovulation; boiled fish soup can promote follicle development, which is beneficial for women to eliminate dominant follicles. Of course, more foods can prevent diseases such as premature ovarian failure and are beneficial to ovarian development. Patients can develop a reasonable diet plan if necessary. In addition, morning is one of the times when insulin works best. A nutritionally balanced breakfast rich in protein and fiber (such as milk, cereals, fruits, oats, etc.) can effectively regulate hormone secretion and provide a good start to the day's physiological functions. If you go to bed late and get up late, and replace breakfast with a midnight snack, you will be wasting the golden time for regulating hormones, which is a pity.

5. How to improve egg quality: avoid sex during menstruation

Sexual intercourse during menstruation can stimulate the body to produce anti-sperm antibodies, causing pelvic infection, endometriosis, etc., and reducing egg vitality.

6. How to improve egg quality: Thin women should take care of themselves in time

Starting from puberty, after menstruation, you can take some Chinese herbal medicines that replenish qi and blood, such as angelica, codonopsis, rehmannia, etc. You can also use jujube, wolfberry, etc. for dietary therapy. If necessary, you can purchase nutritional supplements under the guidance of a professional nutritionist, such as B vitamins, calcium, magnesium, etc.

7. How to improve egg quality: keep your body mass index normal

Obesity, especially weight gain around the waist and abdomen, not only affects your body shape, but can also cause metabolic syndrome, lead to an increase in androgen in the body, cause polycystic ovary disease and hirsutism, and result in anovulation and infertility. However, you should not lose weight blindly, which will lead to low body weight. Low body weight will cause the pituitary gland to secrete insufficient follicle-stimulating hormone and luteinizing hormone, which will reduce the production of eggs by the follicles and cause chronic anovulation and infertility.

8. How to improve egg quality: quality sleep

Everyone knows that sleep is the best way to repair the body and adjust hormone secretion levels, but it is not easy to actually do it. Seriously reflect on your lifestyle. Don't use the computer, don't bother with official documents, don't let your imagination run wild before going to bed. Take a bath, listen to some music, and maybe you will fall asleep smoothly.
