If women want to conceive, they must have healthy eggs, which are released after the follicles mature. Only healthy and advantageous follicles can release healthy eggs, which can also help women conceive faster and make the fetus healthier after pregnancy. So what size of follicle is considered a dominant follicle?
In general, follicles with a diameter of 20mm are considered superior and mature follicles. When the follicle reaches this size, ovulation will occur within 10 hours. To know the specific condition of the follicle, it can be monitored daily after 12 days of menstruation, and the specific condition of the follicle can be known under ultrasound monitoring.
Every woman's follicle will release an egg to varying degrees, and some may even ovulate before reaching 20mm in diameter, while others may require a diameter larger than this to successfully ovulate. Under normal circumstances, every woman will have multiple follicles developing simultaneously when she has follicles, but only one or two follicles mature, known as dominant follicles, and only such follicles can mature and develop into eggs.
Both follicles and eggs are relatively small and can only be seen under ultrasound monitoring. As follicles begin to develop, they also increase over time, and women can only ovulate when they reach maturity, which is also the best time for conception.
