What does it mean to have many follicles?

Everyone knows about men's sperm and women's eggs. If a woman wants to get pregnant successfully, the mature sperm and egg must combine successfully. In fact, before the formation of mature follicles, the follicles in the ovaries will undergo a complex change process, from the initial very small primitive follicles to the larger mature follicles. This process goes through many stages. The following is some popular knowledge about follicles.

What does it mean to have many follicles?

The normal size of a mature follicle is 18-25mm. If it is lower or larger than this standard, ovulation will not occur normally. Under normal circumstances, the follicle grows at a rate of 0.2CM per day.

High-quality follicles are follicles that can ovulate normally. Ovulation is a rather complicated process. All links in the endocrine axis must be in a normal state. If there is a problem in any link, the result will be that the follicle cannot be discharged normally.

Polycystic ovary syndrome is considered to be a syndrome, which is a syndrome with chronic anovulation, amenorrhea or oligomenorrhea, infertility, obesity, hirsutism and polycystic ovary enlargement as clinical characteristics.

Polycystic ovary in women is caused by dysfunction of the hypothalamus-pituitary-ovarian axis, which destroys the mutual dependence and regulation, so the ovaries cannot ovulate for a long time. The typical clinical manifestations of this disease are anovulatory menstrual disorders, such as amenorrhea, functional uterine bleeding, oligomenorrhea or anovulatory menstruation, often accompanied by hirsutism, obesity, infertility, bilateral ovarian growth or unilateral ovarian enlargement and some changes in hormone levels. In addition, a considerable number of people suffer from infertility due to anovulation.

Generally, a woman has several eggs developing at the same time in a month, but usually there can only be one dominant follicle, and the ovaries on both sides ovulate alternately. In rare cases, two mature follicles may appear and two eggs may be released.

Suggestions: If two follicles develop to maturity, there is a possibility of forming twins. However, in many cases, two mature follicles will appear, but not necessarily both will be eliminated.

The presence of multiple small follicles in both ovaries means that there is no dominant follicle development in the ovaries. The diameter is 4-9mm, and there are more than 10 follicles, which is called polycystic ovary changes. Multiple small follicles are abnormal if they occur during the ovulation period, but they may be normal at other times. Polycystic ovary changes are only an indicator for diagnosing polycystic ovary syndrome, but combined with increased endocrine T value and INS, it can be diagnosed as polycystic ovary syndrome. Polycystic ovary syndrome is one of the difficult diseases to treat clinically and is prone to relapse. Multiple follicles may be a sign of polycystic ovary syndrome, which makes pregnancy difficult and requires treatment. Polycystic ovary syndrome is caused by multiple endocrine system dysfunctions. Female friends should pay attention to it and seek timely treatment. It is recommended to go to a large specialized hospital as soon as possible for detailed examination and targeted treatment.
