Menstruation is very important for women. After menopause, women's sexual desire decreases, which accelerates their aging process and can lead to various diseases. Women will not become pregnant without menstruation. But pregnancy is related to ovulation, how can it be related to menstruation? Ovulation requires the development of follicles to conceive. What is the relationship between follicles and menstruation?
There is an inseparable relationship between follicles and menstruation. Without follicles, ovulation would not occur, and of course, menstruation would not exist, which would also affect future pregnancies.
After menstruation, the endometrium becomes very thin because estrogen levels decrease. At this time, follicles begin to develop and secrete estrogen. With the action of estrogen, the increase in estrogen will cause follicles to mature and the endometrium will further thicken.
Due to the production of progesterone after ovulation, the endometrium can undergo a secretory phase change. If pregnant, the endometrium will further thicken and become loose. If not pregnant, estrogen and progesterone will retreat, and menstruation will begin. Therefore, without the development of follicles, menstruation will not occur. Menstruation is influenced by the hormones secreted by follicles. It seems that follicles and menstruation have a mutually supportive relationship.
