How to distinguish between follicular atrophy and follicle expulsion? Experts will tell you

Some people foolishly cannot distinguish between follicular atrophy and follicular expulsion, and often confuse the two. In fact, they are completely different. When large follicles grow to a certain size, they will be expelled naturally. If they cannot be expelled in time, they will atrophy, resulting in constant movement and atrophy.

1. Generally, when a normal follicle grows to 1.8*1.9cm and the endometrium is 0.8cm thick, ovulation should occur. If it is not discharged continuously, it will increase or decrease. It just grows but doesn't drain or shrinks.

Suggestions: It is generally more valuable to detect whether the follicles have been discharged and whether they are mature through B-ultrasound, which also facilitates pregnancy. Women's ovulation is easily affected by the environment, emotions, drugs, and diseases. Generally speaking, the chances of getting pregnant are higher if you have sex every other day during ovulation.

2. If the follicle atrophies, because the menstrual cycle is generally 32 days, the 13th day should not be the time of ovulation. Generally, the follicle will rupture when it grows to about 1.8-2.5. If the follicle does not rupture but atrophies, it is a manifestation of luteinized follicle, and an endocrine examination is needed to determine the cause. Because there are many endocrine factors that cause follicular atrophy. The main problem is that estrogen levels cannot be raised, and endometrial thickening also indicates problems with hormone levels.

Suggestions: Hello, if the follicles are indeed unable to be discharged and are atrophied, an endocrine examination should be done to find the cause, and then treatment should be carried out according to the cause to achieve the best effect. It is recommended that you, under the guidance of a doctor, have a blood test within 2-5 days of menstruation to check your endocrine and ovarian function, identify the cause of the disease in a timely manner, and then provide targeted treatment.

3. These two types can only be distinguished by B-ultrasound monitoring of follicles. Normal discharge means that when the follicle develops to a certain size, it is still there the day before, but disappears when you check the next day; atrophy means that the follicle develops to a certain size, and when you monitor it later, you find that the follicle has become smaller but not gone.

4. The size of a mature follicle is 18-25mm. It is recommended to continue monitoring ovulation by color ultrasound. Ovulation should be possible at any time. It is easy to get pregnant during the ovulation period. Sexual intercourse within 3 days before expected ovulation and within 1 day after ovulation is most likely to make you pregnant.
