What is the appropriate size of follicle?

Normal ovulation of women is a condition to ensure fertility, and the mature eggs will be released from the follicles. Abnormal ovarian follicles are an important cause of female infertility. There are many reasons for follicular abnormalities, some of which are organic factors and some are functional factors. The normal specifications of the eggs are closely related to the size of the follicles, which can be concluded from the examination. So, what is the appropriate size of follicle? Let’s take a look below.

What size follicle is best for discharge?

Gynecologists say: If the follicle develops to 1.8-2.5mm, it should be mature, and will be discharged naturally in about a day, and can survive in the body for 2-3 days. If you have sex at this time, the chance of forming a fertilized egg is relatively high. Women's ovulation is also affected by the environment, emotions, and drugs. If a woman has sex during the ovulation period and has not had her period for more than 10 days, she should go to the hospital for an early pregnancy test!

In terms of time, if a woman's menstrual period is normal, she will ovulate two weeks before the next menstruation. At this time, the woman's body temperature will rise, and the body will have symptoms such as fatigue and increased vaginal discharge. These are all evidence of female ovulation. In addition, you can also test it with ovulation test strips. If ovulation has already occurred, the chance of pregnancy will be greater. When women cannot ovulate normally, they need to check whether the ovarian resistance is normal and whether there are symptoms of polycystic ovary syndrome!

If a woman does not take contraceptive measures during her ovulation period, the chance of pregnancy is the highest. It should be reminded that if you want to get pregnant, it is best to prepare for pregnancy in advance, so as to ensure the healthy growth of the baby. Women should pay attention to the combination of work and rest and nutritional supplements. They should also take some folic acid before pregnancy to prevent fetal malformations!

How does follicle development occur?

1. The egg gradually develops from the primordial follicle in the ovary.

2. 15 to 60 follicles develop in the two ovaries at the same time every month, but generally only one follicle can mature and be discharged from the follicle.

3. The entire process of follicle development, maturation and ovulation takes about 14 days. Ovulation usually occurs about fourteen days before the next menstrual cycle.

4. When the mature follicle develops to a certain stage, with the surge of follicular fluid and the increase of internal pressure, the protruding part of the ovarian tissue becomes thinner and thinner, and finally ruptures. The oocyte and its surrounding zona pellucida and corona radiata are discharged from the ovary along with the follicular fluid. This is an essential step for women to complete reproduction.
