What are the measures for checking ovarian ovulation function?

For women, only when the ovaries can ovulate normally can they be pregnant. However, many women have ovulation disorders. For example, the follicles do not mature. Even more seriously, the ovaries do not secrete follicles at all. This is a very serious problem. In addition to causing infertility, it can also cause women to age prematurely, etc. So how does medicine check the ovarian ovulation function?

Ovarian ovulation function test:

1. What is ovarian function test?

1. The ovaries are organs that secrete sex hormones. Ovarian function test is to check whether the ovarian function is normal, including basal body temperature test, cervical mucus test, endometrial test and vaginal exfoliated cell test.

2. Clinically, ovarian infertility caused by ovarian diseases accounts for a large proportion of all infertility cases, and patients with ovarian diseases will directly suffer from menstrual disorders, rough and dark skin, irritability and other symptoms, which affect the health of women's appearance. As an important physiological organ of women, the ovaries are very important to women's reproductive safety.

3. Women with poor ovarian function will experience lower abdominal pain, menstrual disorders, and pain during sexual intercourse. Symptoms of poor ovarian function may also include increased body hair, abnormal urination, vaginal bleeding, etc. If poor ovarian function is not treated in time, the disease will continue to worsen. Some people with ovarian dysfunction will have symptoms of early menopausal syndrome, causing the patient's uterus to atrophy, osteoporosis, and premature aging, seriously affecting the couple's life. Some women suffer from infertility due to poor ovarian function.

2. Ovarian function test methods

1. Ovarian function test is mainly to understand whether the function of the ovaries is normal. It provides a certain reference for the diagnosis of infertility, early pregnancy, functional uterine bleeding, amenorrhea, etc. Ovarian function test includes basal body temperature measurement for infertility, cervical mucus examination, periodic vaginal smear, etc. It is used to understand the ovarian function, whether ovulation occurs, ovulation date and ovarian corpus luteum function.

2. Basal body temperature. Take your temperature with an oral thermometer after getting up in the morning, remember? The basal body temperature is plotted into a graph to check whether ovulation has occurred, the ovulation date and the ovarian corpus luteum function. It is measured continuously for more than 3 months. The basal body temperature is low during the follicular phase and even lower during the ovulation phase. After ovulation, under the influence of progesterone, the body temperature rises until the menstruation comes and then drops again. This temperature change is called biphasic body temperature, indicating ovulation. If the body temperature does not rise in the second half of the menstrual cycle, it is a monophasic body temperature, indicating no ovulation. If the body temperature rises and does not drop for more than 3 weeks and there is amenorrhea, pregnancy may be possible.

3. Cervical mucus examination. Cervical mucus is secreted by the endocervical secretory cells and is affected by estrogen and progesterone. The amount, transparency, viscosity, crystallization and epithelial cell changes of cervical mucus can be used to judge ovarian function. The crystal morphology of cervical mucus is of certain value in diagnosing infertility, early pregnancy, amenorrhea, etc.

4. Endometrial examination. The endometrium is collected 1-3 days before menstruation or within 12 hours of the beginning of menstruation and sent to the laboratory for pathological examination. If the examination result is secretory endometrium, it indicates ovulation, while proliferative endometrium indicates no ovulation.

5. Vaginal exfoliated cell examination. The vaginal epithelium is directly affected by the ovarian endocrine system and behaves differently with changes in the amount of estrogen and progesterone. The ovarian function can be understood by vaginal smears. The estrogen level in the body is directly proportional to the degree of keratinization of the vaginal epithelial cells. Under the influence of estrogen, the cells gradually differentiate and mature completely.

3. How much does an ovarian function test cost?

1. The price of checking ovarian function is affected by many factors. Different regions, different medical conditions, and different medical equipment will lead to differences in costs. The cost of ovarian function testing is not expensive. The average cost will not exceed 700 yuan, which is affordable for most families. Patients should not delay treatment due to cost issues.

2. The ovary is one of the important endocrine glands of women. Its main function is to secrete female hormones and produce eggs. After females mature, they secrete estrogen and progesterone. Under their influence, menstruation occurs. At the same time, estrogen can promote the development and maintenance of female reproductive organs and secondary sexual characteristics. It can be said that the role of the ovaries is indispensable for women's youthful vitality.
