What to do if there are no ovarian follicles

Anyone who has a certain understanding of the process of egg secretion in the ovaries should know that in the process of egg secretion, the ovaries need to secrete follicles first. The material form of follicle is actually the most primitive form of egg. However, some women find that their bodies cannot secrete follicles, so this has a great impact on their fertility. So what should I do if there are no follicles in my ovaries?

What if there are no follicles?

1. Generally speaking, acupuncture therapy can be used to help follicle growth and ovulation. Acupuncture therapy is also beneficial for regulating menstruation. In order to better treat the disease, patients are advised to go to a regular hospital for acupuncture treatment. At this time, patients must pay attention to controlling their emotions and not be affected by the disease, which leads to a negative attitude towards the disease.

2. Patients can also strengthen their physical fitness and improve their immunity through physical exercise, which helps to better replenish blood and qi, such as doing yoga, jogging, walking, etc. We must persist and persevere. Only when you are in good spirits can you cooperate better with treatment and achieve the best results.

3. Patients must pay more attention to their daily nutritional intake and eat more foods that help to replenish blood and qi, such as: animal kidneys, black sesame seeds, shrimps, bone marrow, cherries, mulberries, sea cucumbers, eggs, yam, etc. Do not smoke, drink, or eat spicy food.

What should be paid attention to in follicle monitoring

When monitoring follicles, you should not stop monitoring as soon as you see a dominant follicle or a mature follicle. You should continue monitoring until ovulation or follicular hypoplasia or luteinization is confirmed.

Reason: Because the underdeveloped dominant follicles may gradually shrink and become smaller; while some follicles will continue to grow to more than 30-40mm and cannot be discharged, resulting in ovulation disorders. The follicles will age and become luteinized in the ovaries. At this time, B-ultrasound may indicate the appearance of reticular flocculent echoes and strong light spots in the follicles. At this time, the basal body temperature may have risen.

Some people who use clomiphene to induce ovulation should start follicle monitoring the next day after taking the medicine; some people with poor ovarian function have no response or slow response to clomiphene, so they should be careful when monitoring follicles.

Follicle monitoring combined with basal body temperature testing can more accurately determine follicle development, ovulation and corpus luteum function.

For those with long menstrual cycles, such as those with polycystic ovary syndrome, menstruation is often infrequent, with menstruation occurring only once every 30, 50 or even 90 days. Follicle monitoring can begin on the 10th day. If a dominant follicle larger than 12mm appears, monitoring should be performed every day or every other day. If there is no dominant follicle, monitoring can be performed every 3 days until a dominant follicle appears, in which case monitoring can be changed to once a day or every other day. (Note: It usually takes 3-4 days from monitoring the dominant follicle to follicle maturation and ovulation. Therefore, if the interval exceeds 5 days, you may miss the opportunity!)
