Many female friends may find that if they do not ovulate for a long time, they may worry about the occurrence of follicular cysts. This is indeed possible, especially for those who have been ovulating for a long time. Once ovulation formation is disrupted, it will affect the speed of egg output and thus affect pregnancy. Below, we will explain the health knowledge about follicular cysts.
1、 What's going on with ovulation inducing cyst and pregnancy
1. Under normal circumstances, when a follicle develops to a certain diameter, it becomes a mature follicle. The diameter of the follicle is generally not more than 1.5 centimeters. If the follicle undergoes deformation or does not rupture during development, it will form a sac like follicle. If the diameter is greater than 2.5 centimeters, it will become a follicular cyst.
2. Follicular cysts can affect women's pregnancy. As we all know, ovarian health is very important for women to conceive. The ovaries produce certain sex hormones. If a normal physiological person cannot ovulate, they will absorb and regress to a certain extent without affecting fertility. However, if it is pathological, follicular cysts will gradually increase if left untreated for a long time, and eventually compress the normal function of the ovaries. Endocrine dysfunction and poor egg quality will affect women's pregnancy.
2、 What to do with follicular cyst
Follicular cysts are usually discovered incidentally during gynecological examination or cesarean section without conscious symptoms. Follicular cysts naturally absorb and regress after 4-6 weeks. Individual cases may cause endometrial hyperplasia and postmenopausal vaginal bleeding due to continuous follicle secretion of estrogen, which can lead to pseudo precocious puberty in young girls. Pathological follicular cysts require timely medical attention. Based on clinical manifestations, signs, and above examinations, diagnostic criteria for fetal and neonatal cystic follicles and follicular cysts can be made. The former is defined as follicle diameter of 0.5-1cm, while the latter is greater than 1cm. The general examination method for follicular cysts is:
1. Laboratory tests: hormone level testing, tumor marker testing.
2. Other auxiliary examinations: histopathological examination of the tissue.
The above is about the health knowledge of ovulation inducing cysts, which can affect women's pregnancy. However, those who will become pregnant only have an impact, usually delaying fertilization because the output of follicles slows down, which is usually related to estrogen in the body. It is recommended to seek medical attention promptly after examination, as it can still be completely cured.
