Will follicles shrink when they grow to 16?

Patient's question:

I got married last year. Recently, I've been experiencing lower abdominal pain, especially during my period. I'm very worried it might affect fertility, and I also feel extremely cold and afraid of coldness. Is it possible for follicles to shrink when they grow to 16?

Doctor's answer:

This condition falls under the category of ovulation disorders. The factors that can cause ovulation disorders include: central nervous system anovulation; hypothalamic anovulation; pituitary anovulation; ovarian anovulation; polycystic ovary syndrome; luteinized unruptured follicle syndrome; others: endocrine system disorders outside the gonads, such as thyroid and adrenal cortex dysfunction, as well as some systemic diseases like severe malnutrition, can affect the regulation of ovarian function, leading to ovulation disorders.
