In gynecological examinations, there will be an examination of the ovaries, which is usually performed when couples want to have a baby. But many people don't understand what follicles are in the ovaries. In fact, everyone has many follicles in their body, but only a few mature in a year. So what's going on with 5 follicles in each of the left and right ovaries? Let's learn about it together with the editor below.
Why are there 5 follicles in each of the left and right ovaries
Generally, there are many follicles developing in a menstrual cycle, and only one is mature. If there are 10 follicles on each ovary with a diameter of no more than 1cm, polycystic ovary syndrome is considered. Currently, this situation is not very normal. Pelvic fluid accumulation has occurred, and it is unknown whether there is usually abdominal pain or discomfort. For safety reasons, it is appropriate to first rule out whether gynecological inflammation has occurred.
The normal number of follicles can reach around 10, but the number of follicles in the ovary varies during each menstrual cycle. During the follicular phase, there may be more follicles, and when ovulation is approaching, there will be 1-2 dominant follicles. During the luteal phase, the dominant follicles will be discharged, and other follicles will shrink.
Reasons for follicular dysplasia
1. Pituitary anovulation: organic and functional factors;
2. Ovarian anovulation: polycystic ovary syndrome, simple gonadal dysgenesis syndrome, gonadal dysgenesis syndrome, premature ovarian failure, luteinized unruptured follicle syndrome;
3. Hypothalamic anovulation: primary organic factors, primary functional factors, secondary organic lesions, secondary functional factors.
What is the reason for having 5 follicles in each of the left and right ovaries? A simple answer to this question has been provided above. There are also many reasons for having follicles, so it is better to go to the hospital for a specific examination to determine what is causing it, so as not to delay the condition. During follicular development, a large number of follicles need to be produced. If follicles are not produced, it is abnormal.
