What to do if the follicle does not rupture

I believe everyone should have a certain understanding of the situation of follicle rupture. Our eggs are produced by follicles. When they reach a certain degree of maturity, the follicles will rupture, and then our eggs will be secreted. However, there are certain abnormalities in the follicle tissue, including the situation that the follicles have not ruptured. This situation can be treated in some ways, so what should I do if the follicles have not ruptured?

Ovulation is a very complex physiological process. All links in the reproductive endocrine axis must remain normal, otherwise long-term or temporary anovulation will occur. In particular, the hormonal environment of the mature follicle itself is very important for ovulation. If the ratio of estrogen to androgen in the follicular fluid is unbalanced, the follicle may become atretic.

It is now clear that in amenorrhea, anovulation is caused by hyperprolactinemia, confirming that prolactin plays an important role in ovulation. Serum secretin levels will increase when you are in a state of tension and stress. Infertile women can be said to be in a state of long-term tension, because they have to measure their basal body temperature every day and choose the time to have sex every month. The fear of not getting pregnant and the outside world's contempt and ridicule will invisibly give them a lot of mental pressure, which may cause high prolactin without ovulation.

Therefore, some people believe that this syndrome is the factor of so-called psychological infertility. In addition, the level of prostaglandins in the follicles and the action of proteases are also very important. If their levels are insufficient, it will also cause anovulation. In short, there are still many unknowns about the etiology and pathogenesis of this syndrome, and in-depth research on the ovulation mechanism of human eggs and their development and maturation is needed. If it is possible to prevent artificial follicles from rupturing in normal people, then it would be possible to find a contraceptive method that most closely approximates the physiological state.

Currently, it is quite difficult to diagnose this syndrome in general hospitals. Its diagnosis must first rule out infertility caused by various factors, directly observe under laparoscopy or take peritoneal fluid to measure hormone levels, or use B-type ultrasound to observe follicular development and ovulation. Its treatment is also relatively difficult. Currently, the method of using human menopausal gonadotropin and chorionic gonadotropin to induce ovulation has achieved certain therapeutic effects. Since this syndrome is related to mental factors, the patient's psychiatric treatment cannot be ignored.
