What are the reasons for the development of multiple follicles?

The development of multiple follicles is a relatively common phenomenon, and the function of the follicles will be relatively poor at this time, so the secretion of estrogen will gradually decrease. Generally, infertile women are often prone to this phenomenon, and this phenomenon will occur repeatedly. Because there are many women who are infertile due to multiple follicles, then, what are the reasons for the development of multiple follicles?

(1) Pituitary problems

One of the reasons for poor ovarian development and common diseases that lead to abnormal ovulation include pituitary prolactinoma, hyperprolactinemia, and Sheehan syndrome. High prolactin levels can inhibit ovulation.

(2) Hypothalamic anovulation

Primary organic factors, primary functional factors, secondary organic lesions, and secondary functional factors.

(3) Premature ovarian failure

Poor follicular development in some women is caused by premature ovarian failure. The patient has normal menstruation in the early stage and even has a history of childbearing, but then the menstruation becomes infrequent until complete amenorrhea. The follicles in the ovaries of such patients have been exhausted, and it is impossible to use ovulation-stimulating drugs to make the follicles develop, or although there are primordial follicles, they do not respond to gonadotropins.

(4) Polycystic ovary syndrome

Polycystic ovary is one of the reasons for poor follicular development. Polycystic ovary syndrome is the most common reason why women do not ovulate. The characteristics of the ovaries are that the follicles are enlarged and have multiple small follicles, but they cannot mature. Therefore, drugs are needed to promote follicle development.

The above are some of the reasons for multiple follicles. I believe that after reading this, you should have a detailed understanding of its reasons. Patients also need to pay more attention in their daily lives. Only by paying more attention can they avoid the phenomenon of too many follicles. In this way, the fertilization rate of female friends will be improved and they will have a very healthy body.
