Do I need to hold my urine before follicle monitoring?

Monitoring the development of follicles is also to better help women conceive. Generally speaking, it is necessary to hold urine when doing B-ultrasound examination of ovarian ovulation, because holding urine will expand the bladder, which will not affect the examination of the uterus.

1. Do I need to hold my urine during follicle monitoring?

You need to hold your urine when checking ovarian ovulation through B-ultrasound. Because the bladder will only expand after holding urine, this will not affect the examination of the uterus. The timing for follicle testing is also important. You can start testing around the tenth day after your period. And you cannot simply test for a week. It is best to monitor continuously for a week, checking every 2 to 3 days. However, if your menstrual periods are irregular, you may need to test more frequently. A woman's body temperature will also change during ovulation, so you can also check your body temperature at the same time.

2. Suitable population for follicle monitoring

1. Patients with infertility caused by endocrine factors: such as menstrual disorders, anovulatory menstruation, amenorrhea, ovarian dysfunction, etc.; need to understand the development of follicles, including natural menstrual cycles and drug-induced ovulation cycles.

2. Patients with infertility caused by polycystic ovary syndrome: Polycystic ovary syndrome is a common ovulation disorder. The cause of the disease is relatively complicated. In addition to amenorrhea or irregular menstruation caused by anovulation, other signs such as hirsutism and obesity may also occur. Through follicle monitoring, it can be found that the ovaries are characterized by multiple small follicles that cannot develop to maturity.

3. Patients with infertility caused by premature ovarian failure: A common disease in which ovarian dysfunction leads to anovulation is premature ovarian failure. Premature ovarian failure means that the follicles in the ovaries have been exhausted, and detailed diagnosis is required through follicle monitoring.

4. Infertile patients with habitual miscarriage: Follicle monitoring is needed to understand the growth and development of follicles, follicle rupture and corpus luteum formation, which plays a key role in determining the specific cause of miscarriage and clinical treatment plan.
