Patient's question:
Female, 28 years old, after cohabiting with her husband, she wants to get pregnant and doesn't know if she is pregnant. Please ask: If the follicle is 2.3×2.2 and mature but does not break, what should be done?Doctor's answer:
Follicular development undergoes continuous changes throughout the menstrual cycle. The time from the start of follicular development to ovulation is estimated as follows: from the first day after menstruation to the 14th day before the next menstrual period. For example, if the menstrual cycle is 30 days long and menstruation lasts for 3 days, it takes 13 days for the follicle to develop from the beginning to ovulation. The size of a mature follicle varies among individuals. Generally, a follicle is considered mature when it reaches a size of 1.8-2.5 cm. Follicles smaller than 17 mm are typically immature and are less likely to result in pregnancy.
