Does having many follicles mean polycystic ovary?

The adult female body produces eggs, and the uterus will become egg cells when it develops to a certain extent. Oocytes are one of the essential elements for a woman to become pregnant. Monitoring follicles can help us understand our endocrine status. Having too many eggs is actually not a good thing. So, does having many eggs mean having polycystic ovaries?

If a woman has too many eggs, it does not rule out the possibility of polycystic ovary, but the specific situation needs to be comprehensively determined by combining ultrasound diagnosis, endocrine examination and clinical manifestations.

Polycystic ovary is an endocrine disease. The patient's body will metabolize a lot of male hormones, causing the patient to have menstrual disorders, weight gain, secondary amenorrhea, excessive hair growth, acanthosis nigricans and other symptoms. It will not only affect women's normal ovulation and menstruation, but may also cause infertility and metabolic disorders. Infertility is mainly caused by anovulation and irregular menstruation, while metabolic disorders may cause high blood pressure, high blood sugar and high blood lipids. Therefore, you should go to a regular hospital for a comprehensive examination and receive targeted treatment after confirming the condition.

The cause of polycystic ovary is currently believed to be excessive production of male hormones by the uterus and ovaries, and the production of male hormones is also the result of the abnormal interaction of various endocrine system functions.

It is not possible to simply diagnose an excess of eggs as polycystic ovary. Doctors need to combine the patient's own detailed situation to make a correct diagnosis. Patients do not need to take medicine indiscriminately and must cooperate closely with treatment.

How to take care of polycystic ovary during pregnancy preparation

1. Monitor ovulation: Normal women generally have one mature follicle every month, but women with polycystic ovaries may not have the growth and development of mature follicles every month. Therefore, supervision of the ovulation period is very important. There are many ways to monitor ovulation, but for female friends with polycystic ovaries, it is best to choose B-ultrasound to monitor ovulation, because intravaginal B-ultrasound detection is currently a more accurate way to measure ovulation. Generally speaking, B-ultrasound monitoring of ovulation can accurately predict the time of ovulation and increase the chance of pregnancy. Please note that you don't need to have sex before this, as frequent sex will affect the quality of sperm.

2. Early pregnancy: The best childbearing age for women is 25-30 years old. The older you are, the lower the probability of pregnancy. Women with polycystic ovary syndrome who are preparing for pregnancy are best to choose to get pregnant at the best childbearing age, as the probability of successful pregnancy will be relatively higher.

3. Ovulation induction treatment: There are many ways to induce ovulation, the most common ones are ovulation induction injections, oral medications, Chinese medicine conditioning, etc. Through ovulation induction treatment, repeated testing and intercourse after ovulation induction, the probability of pregnancy for women with polycystic ovary syndrome is greater.

4. Balanced diet: PCOS patients should pay attention to nutrition, choose more foods with low glycemic index, eat foods high in protein, pay attention to the supplement of high-fiber, high-vitamin foods and a low-calorie, moderate sugar diet.

5. Moderate exercise: Women with polycystic ovary who are preparing for pregnancy need to actively exercise to improve their physical fitness, which will also help them to get pregnant successfully. But you should pay attention to the appropriateness of exercise and try to avoid excessive exercise.

6. Regular work and rest schedule: Women who are preparing for pregnancy should maintain a stable work and rest schedule, try not to stay up late, regulate their menstrual cycle, and not affect the ovulation period.

On the other hand, if a woman has mature follicles, it means that she does not have polycystic ovary and can eliminate the idea of ​​suffering from polycystic ovary. If you suspect that you have polycystic ovaries, it is recommended that you do not make assumptions. Go to the hospital immediately for a thorough physical examination to find out whether you have polycystic ovaries. Only a clear examination can give your body peace of mind.
