Patient's question:
I have an itchy lower body, and my underwear is always yellow. What's going on? Does having a short menstrual cycle mean the ovulation period will come earlier?Doctor's answer:
Yes. Generally, it is necessary to identify the ovulation period to better conceive. Using methods like timely ovulation test strips and monitoring basal body temperature can help find it. Continuous observation is required, as after the follicle ruptures, it forms a corpus luteum. Therefore, it is necessary to monitor the size of the follicles continuously. Generally, a follicle size greater than 1.8 cm indicates that it is about to rupture. So, monitoring needs to be more frequent recently. After the follicle ruptures, the follicular fluid accumulates in the lowest part of the body—the rectouterine pouch, which can indicate ovulation, but it is not the definitive standard for confirming ovulation.
