Ovarian Follicles
February 11, 2021
Follicles are measured perifollicular flows checked. Uterine anomalies were seen on 3D scan with endometrial volumes & receptivity (grades)
Folliculometry is a study of ovarian follicular growth starting from day 8 to 12.
On our machine, we examine everything very accurately. Even the follicles on the ovarian surface can be seen & measured using special software like inversion & HD. The study ends when the follicle ruptures & the egg is released. It is viable for 36 hrs. If someone just keeps measuring only the follicles it’s of no use. The patient will ot conceive or will abort if other parameters like perifollicular flows & uterine perfusion are not adequate.
