What to do if there are too many follicles

We all know that a woman's uterus is used for conception, and the eggs needed for conception are released by the woman's ovaries. However, not every egg released can combine with the male sperm, so the female menstrual cycle is calculated as a safe period and an ovulation period. The eggs released during the ovulation period are very easy to conceive, but some people will be found through examination that the number of follicles released is large. So what should we do if we have too many follicles?

Conception is a complex physiological process that requires the following conditions: 1. The ovaries release normal eggs; 2. The semen is normal and contains normal sperm; 3. The egg and sperm can meet and combine in the fallopian tube to become a fertilized egg; 4. The fertilized egg is successfully transported into the uterine cavity; 5. The endometrium is fully prepared for the fertilized egg to implant. Any abnormality in these links can hinder conception. The reasons that hinder conception may lie with the woman, the man, or both.

Under normal circumstances, after a woman is born, there are already about 100,000 undeveloped follicles stored in both ovaries. However, only 400-500 follicles will mature in a woman's lifetime, and the rest will degenerate on their own. The mature follicles are then released from the ovaries and are called eggs, which are capable of fertilization. Ovulation follows a certain pattern. After each menstruation, several follicles develop simultaneously in the ovaries, but usually only one follicle matures, while the rest of the follicles at different stages of development degenerate on their own. Ovulation occurs approximately 14-16 days before the start of the next menstruation. One egg is released every month (in some cases, two or more eggs are released at a time). The two ovaries ovulate alternately, or one ovary can ovulate continuously. The egg that leaves the ovary can survive for 24-72 hours. The strongest fertilization ability is within 24 hours after ovulation.

The presence of many follicles does not rule out the possibility of polycystic ovary syndrome, which needs to be determined comprehensively based on the woman's clinical symptoms, endocrine examinations and ultrasound diagnosis. Polycystic ovary syndrome is an endocrine and metabolic disease that not only affects women's normal menstruation and ovulation, causing infertility, but also leads to metabolic disorders, followed by high blood pressure and hyperlipidemia.

Polyovary syndrome, its clinical manifestations include oligomenorrhea or amenorrhea, infertility, hirsutism, acne, obesity, hair loss, acanthosis nigricans, etc. It is recommended to have a blood test on an empty stomach on the second to third day of the menstrual period to check six sex hormones to understand the function of the hypothalamus-pituitary-ovary. If your period is delayed, you can have a blood test at any time.
