Why don't follicles grow?

The failure of follicles to grow is a manifestation of follicular hypoplasia. We all know that it is a normal physiological process for follicles to be discharged only after they mature. Therefore, the failure of follicles to grow is an abnormal condition, which will have different degrees of impact on the human body. There are certain reasons for the failure of follicles to grow, and the failure of follicles to grow can also be treated. So why do follicles fail to grow?

Endocrine dysfunction: Impaired regulation of pituitary function by the hypothalamus or abnormal secretion of the ovaries themselves can lead to poor follicular development, such as endocrine diseases such as hyperadrenocortical hyperfunction and hypothyroidism.

For those with poor follicular development, ovulation-inducing drugs can generally be used, and chorionic gonadotropin can also be used. If combined with Chinese medicine, the effect is more ideal. Generally speaking, the infertility treatment effect of biphasic body temperature is better than that of monophasic body temperature. On the basis of syndrome differentiation and treatment, patients with small follicle ovulation cycle and small follicle luteinization cycle can take Chinese medicine conditioning on the fifth day of the menstrual cycle, such as Rehmannia glutinosa, Epimedium, Lycium barbarum, Ligustrum lucidum, Cornus officinalis, Deer Horn Frost, Angelica sinensis, roasted Astragalus membranaceus, etc., while patients with unruptured follicle luteinization cycle should take kidney-tonifying, essence-replenishing, blood-stasis-removing and collateral-draining products before ovulation, which has a better effect.

The follicle is the basic reproductive unit of females. The ovarian cortex of the follicle is composed of an oocyte and many small follicular cells around it. According to the morphological and functional changes in the process of follicle development, it can be divided into three stages: primordial follicles, growing follicles and mature follicles.
