How big is the egg considered mature?

Generally speaking, it is very troublesome for women to conceive. First of all, the development of eggs is different from that of male sperm. Women may only produce one egg in a month, and the egg is constantly differentiating before it gradually matures. However, the quality of the egg is also related to the physical fitness of women. Women can improve their physical fitness and egg quality through a reasonable diet and fitness. So how big is the egg in the female body to be considered mature?

Normally, we cannot see the egg before ovulation because it is very small. Only when it develops into a follicle can we see it under a microscope. At that time, it is already very large. The 10th to 14th day before menstruation is called the ovulation period.

A mature egg is generally larger than 20mm, and the smallest one is normal at more than 18mm. The growth from primary follicle to mature follicle can be divided into 8 levels. The first five levels are too small and take too long to grow, so they do not have much practical significance. The focus should be on the 6th level onwards. The diameter of the level 6 follicle is 5mm; after 5 days, it grows to 10mm and becomes the level 7 follicle; after another 5 days of development, it reaches the level 8 follicle with a diameter of 16mm. The 8th level follicles are mature follicles.

Therefore, it takes a total of 10 days for the 6th level follicle to grow to the 8th level follicle, which is exactly the follicular phase in a menstrual cycle. Starting from 6mm, after another 2-3 days, it will develop into a 20mm follicle and the egg will be released.

The egg matures after a long period of development in a woman's ovaries. Generally speaking, it may take about half a month to discharge a normal egg, during which it may undergo some complex physiological changes. Therefore, if we want to discharge a high-quality egg, we need to pay more attention to it in our daily life. Regulate your mood and diet.
