For women, the ovaries are very important. It is the female reproductive organ, composed of oocytes and follicular cells, in which follicles play an important role. Follicles can affect normal ovulation, the quality of eggs, and of course, fertility. What is the reason for multiple follicular echoes in the ovary?
What is the reason for multiple follicular echoes in the ovary
The normal number of follicles should not exceed 10. If it exceeds 10, it is necessary to consider whether there is polycystic ovary syndrome. If there is this disease, it is not easy to conceive. Simply looking at the ultrasound examination, multiple follicular like echoes can be seen in both ovaries, which is mostly due to polycystic ovary syndrome. This is caused by the inability of the ovaries to ovulate normally, leading to endocrine abnormalities that may affect menstruation. Of course, blood tests are ultimately needed to confirm.
What is polycystic ovary syndrome
Polycystic ovary syndrome is a common endocrine disorder among women of childbearing age. The cause is still unclear. It is generally believed to be related to dysfunction of the hypothalamic pituitary ovarian axis, adrenal dysfunction, genetics, metabolism, and other factors. A small number of PCOS patients have sexual or autosomal abnormalities, and some have a family history. Recently, it has been discovered that certain genes, such as CYP11A and VNTR of insulin genes, are associated with the occurrence of PCOS, further confirming the role of genetic factors in the pathogenesis of PCOS.
For women, the ovaries play a crucial role, therefore, it is necessary to pay attention to the protection of the ovaries, especially the development of follicles. Poor follicle development can affect the quality of eggs and normal conception. Since it is pregnancy, it is also easy to cause miscarriage or stillbirth, so follicular development must be taken seriously.
