There are 10- 12 follicles in the ovary. There are 10- 12 follicles in the ovary, which is within the normal range. The presence or absence of follicles and the number of follicles are not directly related to menstruation. It is not a big problem to come to menstruation occasionally. It is normal to come to menstruation in advance or a week later. If the test is not pregnant, menstruation will be delayed for more than a week. Especially worried, you can go to the hospital to do color Doppler ultrasound and look at the thickness of the endometrium, so you can judge the approximate time of menstruation. The formation of this situation is generally tense and stressful.
Some people stay up late at this stage, often have bad rest and endocrine disorders, which will also lead to delayed menstruation. Therefore, they are not pregnant and do not menstruate. It's not a big problem, and menstruation is often not allowed. To go to the hospital for relevant examination, we should first have a color Doppler ultrasound to see if there is any problem with the uterus and ovaries and if there is any organic disease leading to irregular menstruation. If there is no such situation, pregnancy and menstruation, it is still possible to consider endocrine disorders. Then according to the results of endocrine examination, symptomatic treatment.
You can do color Doppler ultrasound to understand the condition of endometrium, progesterone can be given when the endometrium thickens, and the hormone level can be detected four days after bleeding to understand the function of ovary; If the older period does not come, you can also check the hormone level. If ovarian function declines, menstruation will not come. You can do a health check to find out if there are any contraindications to taking hormone replacement. If there are no contraindications, you can regulate menstruation through hormone replacement according to your doctor's advice.
How many follicles are normal in the ovary? In normal ovaries, there will be 3- 1 1 follicle every month during the growing period, and there will be 1 dominant follicle that can fully mature and ovulate. Other follicles will have apoptosis mechanism and degrade automatically. However, it is suggested that multiple follicles exceed 1 1, which may be 12. Generally, it should not exceed 12. If it exceeds 12, it means that there will be a chance of polycystic ovary. Therefore, when doing color ultrasound, you must let the color ultrasound doctor count whether there are 12 follicles. If there is, it will affect pregnancy. Try to check endocrine hormones on an empty stomach on the second to fifth day of menstruation to rule out whether endocrine hormones are abnormal. You can also do vaginal color ultrasound again, so that the color ultrasound doctor can judge how many follicles there are and whether there are 12 follicles.
If ultrasound examination shows that there are many small follicles in the ovary, it may suggest that many follicles are immature and accumulate in the ovary, which is the manifestation of polycystic ovary syndrome. Normal women will have 1-2 mature follicles discharged every month. If ovulation is over, there should be no follicular echo in the ovary. However, if the hormone level in women is disordered and the follicles are immature, the immature follicles may accumulate in the ovary, and after a few months, there will be more than 10 or even more anechoic areas, which is the echo of the follicles in the ovary and becomes polycystic ovary syndrome. Without mature follicles, patients with polycystic ovary syndrome will lead to infertility, and may also have symptoms such as masculinity and amenorrhea.
