Patient's question:
I have an itchy lower body, and my underwear is always yellow. What's going on? How can I determine the ovulation period when my period comes on the 17th?Doctor's answer:
The date of ovulation for women is generally about 14 days before the next menstrual period. After the egg is released from the ovary, it can survive in the fallopian tube for 1-2 days, waiting for fertilization; male sperm can maintain fertilizing ability in the female reproductive tract for 2-3 days, so sexual intercourse during the days before and after ovulation is more likely to result in pregnancy. For safety, we refer to the 5 days before ovulation, the 4 days after ovulation, and ovulation itself as a total of 10 days, known as the fertile window. Because sexual intercourse during the fertile window is more likely to result in pregnancy, it is also referred to as the "high-risk period" or "dangerous period." Based on the above analysis, your fertile window should be around 10 days before and after day 3, which is the best time for conception.
