When women suffer from infertility, in addition to various examinations such as uterine, ovarian, and endocrine tests, follicle monitoring is also a key examination. Because only mature follicles that can effectively ovulate are possible for normal pregnancy. So, if you go to the hospital for examination, on what day of your menstrual cycle should you check for follicles?
If women need to go to the hospital to check the development of follicles, they can go to the hospital for ultrasound examination on the 8th day of their menstrual cycle, and they need to be monitored every two days. By recording the size and shape of follicle development, they can monitor whether the follicles are in a normal development state.
Normally, female follicles during the reproductive period grow by one to two centimeters per day. If the follicle develops to over eighteen centimeters, it is considered mature and ovulation occurs. If a woman has a need for preconception, having sex at this time can greatly increase the chances of conception.
In addition, when going to the hospital for examination, abdominal ultrasound can be performed, and follicles can also be monitored through vaginal ultrasound examination. Both methods can monitor follicular development. However, ultrasound examination requires holding urine and filling the bladder in advance to make the examination clearer. If it is a vaginal ultrasound examination, there is no need to hold urine, and it can also have good examination results. However, choosing the appropriate examination method depends on the woman's own condition and the doctor's advice.
