Ovarian vesicles are commonly known as follicles. Many people know that ovulation mainly refers to the maturation and eventual rupture of follicles. For people who want to conceive, mature follicles are needed in order to ovulate smoothly, which is beneficial for women's successful conception. So, how many ovarian follicles are there generally?
Ovarian follicles appear month by month, and under normal circumstances, there are follicles in the ovaries every month that are still developing. From a specific quantity perspective, there are usually multiple symptomatic follicles developing in the ovarian vesicles each month. However, not all of these follicles can fully develop and mature. Many follicles gradually shrink during their development, while others are absorbed.
There are only one or two ovarian follicles that can develop and mature normally, which is what we call the main follicle. About fifteen days after the onset of menstruation, the ovaries will be discharged. Mature follicles and sperm meet to successfully conceive. Now it is possible to monitor follicular development, mainly through ultrasound examination, and ovulation test strips can also be used.
It should be noted that if a woman's ovaries enlarge and a large number of follicles are found on one side, mainly more than ten on one side, this should be taken seriously as it is likely to be polycystic ovary syndrome. Only when the follicle grows to about 20 millimeters can it be called a dominant follicle.
