Under normal circumstances, women ovulate every month, and this period of ovulation is called the ovulation period. Ovulation usually occurs about 14 days before menstruation. So, do you know what size the egg is? When can eggs be released? Friends who want to know the answer, come and take a look!
How many eggs will be released from the body?
Generally speaking, follicles with a diameter of around 20mm will be expelled. Usually, before ovulation, we cannot see the egg because it is very small at that time. Only when it develops into a follicle can we see under a microscope that it is already very large. The period between the 10th and 14th days before menstruation is called ovulation.
Mature eggs are generally over 20mm in size, with the smallest being over 18mm to be considered normal. The growth of primary follicles to mature follicles can be divided into 8 levels. The first five levels are too small and the growth time is too long, which has little practical significance. Starting from the 6th level is the focus we should pay attention to. The diameter of the 6th grade follicle is 5mm; After 5 days, it grew to 10mm and became the 7th grade follicle; After another 5 days of development, it reaches the 8th level follicle with a diameter of 16mm. The 8th level follicle is a mature follicle.
So, it takes a total of 10 days for the 6th follicle to grow up to the 8th follicle, which happens to be the follicular phase of a menstrual cycle. Starting from 16mm, after 2-3 days, it will develop into 20mm follicles and the egg will be released.
Women with abnormal menstrual cycles cannot infer the time of egg release using this method, but ovulation can be detected by measuring basal body temperature, ovulation test strips, observing cervical mucus, ultrasound monitoring, and other methods. During ovulation, there may be subtle changes in the body, and ovulation is often accompanied by symptoms such as slightly elevated body temperature, lower abdominal pain, and breast tenderness.
The above is the introduction by the editor that eggs are often released. I wonder if it has solved everyone's doubts. Women with stable menstrual cycles can infer their ovulation period based on time, but this method cannot be used for those with unstable menstrual cycles!
