What is the normal size of a woman's ovarian follicle?

Experts at the Infertility Hospital said that normal follicles are the beginning of egg development. Only normally developed and mature follicles can release eggs; if the follicles are abnormally developed and immature, they cannot ovulate normally. Even if ovulation is successful, the quality is poor and it is very likely to cause miscarriage in women. So, how big is a normal follicle? Below is a detailed introduction by experts.

The follicle is 20mm in diameter, round in shape, with thin walls, protruding to one side of the ovary, and has good internal sound transmission. Ovulation usually occurs within 10 hours, most often within the 12th to 18th day of menstruation, and in some cases within 20th to 30th day.
