Ultrasound monitoring of follicles is a complex and cumbersome process, and it is very important for patients with infertility. By monitoring follicles with ultrasound, it is possible to clearly determine whether ovarian development is normal, whether follicles can be released, and whether eggs have been released, thus clarifying the cause of infertility. Is there anything wrong with the ultrasound monitoring of follicles?
Ultrasound monitoring shows that there is nothing wrong with the follicle detection
It is possible that the monitoring time of follicles detected by ultrasound is incorrect. Generally, from the 8th day of the menstrual cycle, ultrasound monitoring should be conducted once every 2 days. When the follicle diameter reaches 17 millimeters, it should be monitored once a day. When the follicle develops and matures with a diameter of 20-23 millimeters, it is necessary to measure twice a day until ovulation occurs. The B-ultrasound probe has a frequency of 3.5MHz for each monitoring, observing the size and morphology of both ovaries, recording the number and size of follicles, and the day of menstruation.
The importance of ultrasound monitoring of follicles
The main function of the ovaries is to produce eggs. Well developed follicles and accurate ovulation dates lay the foundation for eugenics and fertility. In the diagnosis process of infertility, it is often necessary to monitor follicles to see if there is normal ovarian growth, development, and discharge. This type of examination may seem cumbersome, but it is very important and has significant clinical implications.
If the timing of follicle testing is incorrect, it may lead to the detection of follicles by ultrasound monitoring. The monitoring of follicles must pay attention to the timing and must start from the 8th day of the menstrual cycle. Follicle monitoring must be continuous, and the specific monitoring time depends on the development of the follicles. Only when the follicles are detected to be mature can they be monitored.
