How should small follicles be treated?

Anovulation is one of the common pregnancy and childbirth diseases in women. There are many reasons for anovulation. Small follicles are one of the reasons why women do not ovulate. I believe many women know that having sex during the ovulation date will increase the chance of pregnancy. Therefore, the ovulation period is also called the fertile period or the dangerous period. So for women who want to get pregnant, what should they do if some follicles are too small?

What to do if the follicle is small and does not ovulate

The size of a mature follicle is 18-25mm. If the follicle cannot mature or does not ovulate after maturation, it is considered an ovulation disorder. The factors that cause ovulation disorders include: central nervous system anovulation; hypothalamic anovulation; pituitary anovulation; ovarian anovulation; polycystic ovary syndrome; luteinized unruptured follicle syndrome; others: other endocrine systems other than gonads, such as thyroid and adrenal cortex dysfunction and some systemic diseases such as severe malnutrition can affect the regulation of ovarian function and lead to ovulation disorders.

The causes of small follicles and anovulation are different, and the treatment methods are also different. If you experience small follicles and anovulation in your daily life, you must go to the hospital for examination and receive symptomatic treatment under the guidance of a doctor based on the results of the examination.

How to self-test ovulation:

1. The specific test method of self-testing with ovulation test strips is generally explained on the packaging of the ovulation test strips (you must strictly follow the instructions to minimize errors). If your menstrual cycle is relatively regular, you should measure for six consecutive days, starting from 14 days before your period (which is the expected ovulation time), on the three days before and the three days after your period. If your menstrual cycle is irregular or abnormal, you should generally start measuring on the third day after your period ends. When the two lines on the test paper are the same depth or the second line is darker than the first, it means that ovulation will occur within 24 to 48 hours. For other test results, please refer to the diagram in the instruction manual.

2. Spot bleeding observation method: When the follicles are discharged from the ovaries, they will tear the ovarian wall and cause local bleeding. Usually, this little bit of blood is quickly absorbed into the abdominal cavity. However, there are also a few women who experience heavy bleeding, and the blood will flow through the fallopian tubes, uterus, and vagina to the outside of the body, leaving drops of blood on the underwear. Some women call it "small menstruation" and it is medically called "ovulation bleeding."

If women want to have a better chance of conception, the editor recommends that you have sex during the ovulation date as this will increase the chances of conception. The above are some treatment methods for small follicles and anovulation compiled by the editor. I hope that after the editor’s detailed introduction, it will be helpful to you. The editor recommends that you pay more attention to observation in normal times. If infertility occurs, you need to go to the hospital for treatment.
