What are the reasons for immature ovarian follicles in women?

Female follicle immaturity mainly refers to the fact that the follicles have not grown to mature size and their own functions are relatively poor. Therefore, the secretion of estrogen is relatively small. Generally, this phenomenon mainly occurs in women who have difficulty getting pregnant, and it is also easy to recur. Women must understand its reasons. So, what are the reasons for immature female follicles?

(1) Pituitary problems

One of the reasons for poor ovarian development and common diseases that lead to abnormal ovulation include pituitary prolactinoma, hyperprolactinemia, and Sheehan syndrome. High prolactin levels can inhibit ovulation.

(2) Hypothalamic anovulation

Primary organic factors, primary functional factors, secondary organic lesions, and secondary functional factors.

(3) Premature ovarian failure

Poor follicular development in some women is caused by premature ovarian failure. The patient has normal menstruation in the early stage and even has a history of childbearing, but then the menstruation becomes infrequent until complete amenorrhea. The follicles in the ovaries of such patients have been exhausted, and it is impossible to use ovulation-stimulating drugs to make the follicles develop, or although there are primordial follicles, they do not respond to gonadotropins.

(4) Polycystic ovary syndrome

Polycystic ovary is one of the reasons for poor follicular development. Polycystic ovary syndrome is the most common reason why women do not ovulate. The characteristics of the ovaries are that the follicles are enlarged and have multiple small follicles, but they cannot mature. Therefore, drugs are needed to promote follicle development.

Through the introduction above, I believe everyone has a detailed understanding of the reasons for immature development of female follicles. After knowing the reasons, patients can avoid this kind of phenomenon well. You need to pay more attention to it in daily life, otherwise it will have a great impact on women's fertility.
