Can empty follicles be detected by ultrasound?

Empty follicles are a relatively abnormal condition, which means that the follicles have not developed. We should generally perform certain examinations on our follicles at certain specific times. B-ultrasound is a relatively common examination method. It can be used to check the condition of the fetus in our body, or to check some other symptoms. Some people say that B-ultrasound can show empty follicles, so can B-ultrasound show empty follicles?

The empty follicles occur because the development of the follicles appears normal under B-ultrasound monitoring, but after egg retrieval, no eggs can be absorbed from the follicles. The presence of empty follicles generally leads to a decrease in the number of eggs, affecting the success rate of egg retrieval.

Because the development progress of follicles is different, the time when the egg leaves the follicle will be different, which leads to the appearance of empty follicles. Generally speaking, it is not possible to completely fail to obtain eggs. Even if it is an empty follicle, it is a very normal follicle.

In fact, don’t worry about the appearance of empty follicles. As long as you don’t give up and actively cooperate with the doctor’s treatment, you can obtain enough eggs as soon as possible and be adequately prepared for the next steps.

It is best to eat more high-protein foods on a regular basis. Eat more beans. For example, soy milk and black beans can increase hormone levels in the body. In this case, don't be too nervous. Generally speaking, there are no problems. I suggest that the best way for you is to wait for your ovulation period. If the follicle can be discharged normally, then choose to have sex. The chance of pregnancy should be relatively high.

Empty follicles are follicles without eggs, and no eggs can be retrieved during egg retrieval. The formation of empty follicles is mostly due to the asynchronous apoptosis of oocytes and follicular cells. If empty follicles appear, the woman's ovaries may have prematurely aged, and it will basically be impossible to obtain eggs. At present, there is no authoritative treatment for empty follicles. Generally, Chinese medicine is used to regulate the endocrine system and reduce the occurrence of empty follicles.

To check the ovarian function in advance, you can check FSH. You can tell from the FSH value. If the FSH value is high, the ovulation promotion effect will not be very good. The other situation is cyclical. In this case, there is still hope for success with IVF. Maybe healthy eggs can be successfully retrieved during the next ovulation period. For patients with empty follicles, most of them are cyclical, so patients should not be discouraged and wait for the second egg retrieval to see the situation. If it is cyclical, the eggs may be successfully retrieved.

Because the development progress of follicles is different, the time when the egg leaves the follicle will be different, so empty follicles appear. Under normal circumstances, there will not be a situation where no eggs can be retrieved at all. Even if some of the eggs are empty, there are also normal follicles. In fact, there is no need to worry about the appearance of individual empty follicles. Just don't give up and actively cooperate with the doctor's treatment to strive to obtain enough eggs as soon as possible to lay a solid foundation for the next steps.
