Patient's question:
Patient Age: 28Detailed Condition and Purpose of Consultation: I don't pay much attention to female physiology and rarely read books on this topic. Could you please tell me how many days constitute a normal ovulation period, and which day is the ovulation day? I usually have my period on the 3rd day of each month, and it ends on the 8th. Could you please explain when ovulation occurs?
Doctor's answer:
Hello, the ovulation date 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 easy to conceive. For safety, we call the 5 days before the ovulation day and the 4 days after it, including the ovulation day itself, a total of 10 days, the ovulation period. Because sexual intercourse during the ovulation period is easy to conceive, it is also called the fertile period or the dangerous period.
