During the IVF period, the quality of follicles is an important factor for the success of IVF. So, what kind of follicles are high-quality? What details should we pay attention to in daily life to obtain high-quality follicles? Today, Xiaoyu and Baoma are here to talk about those things about follicles!

What kind of follicles are good?

1. Good follicles should be "large"

Generally speaking, when the diameter of a follicle reaches 18-25mm, it is considered a mature follicle, with a plump appearance, circular or elliptical shape, and a thin and clear inner wall. Such "good follicles" are more likely to conceive after ovulation.

However, the larger the follicle, the better. Some follicles mature but do not rupture, and they continue to grow. When they grow to 30-40mm, they lose ovulation ability and undergo luteinization, which is also an abnormal situation.

2. Good follicles should be "round"

Follicles are like seeds, plump and round are the best. If there is a difference between the two diameter limits of the follicle; 3mm is called a flat follicle, usually within 15mm× At 20mm, it indicates that the quality of the follicles is no longer good.

3 Good follicles need to be "alone"

Some people think that if there are many follicles developing at the same time, it is possible to conceive multiple pregnancies? Is this really the case?

In fact, if multiple follicles develop simultaneously on one side of the ovary, but there are no obvious dominant follicles, it may be caused by endocrine disorders, such as polycystic ovary syndrome. This situation ultimately only leads to each follicle not growing well, making it difficult to ovulate and conceive normally.

How to prevent follicular dysplasia?

01 Balanced diet and nutrition

Eat more foods containing iron and zinc to provide nutrients for eggs; Vitamin C and vitamin E can promote egg growth and reduce the risk of developing ovarian cancer.

Soybean foods can also regulate female estrogen levels and endocrine function. In addition, it is necessary to eat less processed foods such as pickled and canned foods, and also to quit smoking and drinking alcohol.

02 Beware of the "Beauty Trap"

Poor nail polish, hair dye, perm, etc. may contain toxic compounds, which may cause harm to the body; Don't trust the ovarian maintenance program of beauty salons, as inferior essential oils may reduce ovarian vitality.

03 Pay attention to the combination of work and rest

High work pressure or anxiety and depression can affect women's endocrine system, disrupting normal ovarian ovulation. In daily life, it is necessary to combine work and rest, exercise appropriately, and learn to reduce stress in order to help the ovaries produce good eggs.

04 Take less painkillers

Long term use of painkillers can suppress the brain's nerves, "misleading" the nerve center to lower the speed of ovarian movement, thereby reducing egg activity. If you want to improve the quality of follicles, you can also take some auxiliary health products with the advice of a doctor.

05 Monitoring Follicles to Achieve Good Pregnancy

Follicle monitoring is the process of monitoring the growth of follicles, tracking and understanding the number of follicles and their morphological changes during growth and development.

Doctors can adjust the dosage and time of using ovulation promoting drugs based on the development of follicles, in order to obtain the best quality eggs, thereby improving embryo quality and increasing the success rate of in vitro fertilization.
