Before you begin to develop this topic, you will need to understand what a follicle is. Try to imagine an ovary that has a healthy reproductive function. In order to enable this function, ovulation must occur from time to time. This means that the egg must mature somewhere before it enters the uterine cavity. It matures in a special capsule, which is called the follicle. After maturation, the egg needs to leave the place of its birth and development, due to which then the follicle ruptures. In the middle of the cycle, a woman can observe colorless discharge in herself, they are fleeting in nature. This is completely normal, does not mean any health problems, therefore, you do not need to worry about this phenomenon. This happens monthly in the middle of the cycle. However, the follicle is not always torn.
From this material you will learn why the follicle does not burst, how to help with such a problem and what is the life time of the egg, provided that the follicle burst.
Why is this not happening?
The main reasons why the follicle does not burst (dominant) include a thick layer of tissue that the follicle consists of, or hormonal failure. The connective tissue of such a capsule should rupture with the maturation of the egg. However, provided that the follicle does not burst, it is not difficult to conclude that there are any problems. Often, doctors justify this by saying that there is an imbalance in the balance of two hormones:
And also for the functioning of the reproductive organs is another hormone called prolactin. There is a hormonal imbalance on various grounds. The circumstances in which there was a hormonal failure should be sought not in the localization of the female genital organs, but in the rest of the body systems.
Also, another reason why the follicle does not burst during ovulation is that the body does not have enough vitamins, trace elements that contribute to the normal production of hormones, and therefore affect the rupture of the capsule with the egg. However, not all so simple. In the area of an unexploded follicle, cyst formation is possible. Also, if a woman has no ovulation and no vaginal discharge, this means that she cannot become pregnant. So what can a woman do if she really wants a baby, but because of this problem she cannot get pregnant?
It should be noted that in a healthy organ, a yellow body appears in place of a torn follicle. It produces progesterone. This is an important hormone, and it is necessary for the full fertilization and bearing of the child to occur. However, the existence of such a body is limited; it does not exist for very long. If there are deviations in the reproductive organs, then a dominant follicle appears instead of the corpus luteum. This suggests that an unbroken follicle syndrome affects the occurrence of a cyst.
Symptoms
The woman herself will not be able to feel the moment of ovulation. Of course, this can happen painfully, but there are no pronounced signs. It is possible to use calculations to determine which day of the monthly cycle ovulation will occur. However, according to such estimates, it is possible to make a mistake. Today it is very simple to buy a test that will help determine it. It is similar to a test that helps determine if you are pregnant. It can be used daily during the time when the follicle should burst (usually in the middle of the cycle).
On ultrasound, a specialist can detect a follicular cyst, which develops, but does not burst. In order not to remind about the danger of such formations, the doctor determines what size it is, what it contains and why it was formed. If the egg has matured, then usually the follicle will be about 22 mm, not more than 24, and then it bursts. Otherwise, there is a delay on the day of the expected critical days, and a woman can take this for pregnancy.
Who is at risk?
Many women have experienced hormonal failure with the occurrence of follicular cysts. Often, this problem is faced by adolescents and mature women during menopause. Any girl turns into a girl with the onset of the first menstruation. Changes occur in the body, and because of this, problems with the endocrine system may appear, and such an unpleasant phenomenon as hormonal failure can also be observed. Most often during puberty during ovulation, if the follicle does not rupture, a cyst occurs. Ultrasound reveals neoplasms. Very often, the presence of a cyst is not scary for health, and with the advent of menstruation it will resolve.
During menopause, any lady should visit a gynecologist. Because it may be that the follicle will grow into a cyst, which will threaten the health and life of the patient. A malignant neoplasm usually at the very beginning of the appearance may be completely invisible, a woman may not even be aware of its existence, and the discharge will go less often or stop going at all. Therefore, it is very important to see a doctor.
Necessary measures
When a woman does not regularly visit a specialist, it is likely that she will encounter a problem such as lack of ovulation on a certain day of the cycle and with a delay of critical days. It is necessary to visit a specialist, he will have to conduct an examination, prescribe certain tests. It is possible that he will recommend visiting an endocrinologist. If compared with some other pathologies that have a connection with the female reproductive organs, then you do not need to try to treat the ovary, on which the follicle did not burst, traditional medicine, gymnastics, excessive physical exertion. Because you can make the situation worse and affect the occurrence of cystic neoplasms.
Specialist recommendations
Having familiarized with the obtained analyzes, ultrasound, a specialist will be able to choose the necessary drug for a woman. This means that there is a lack of hormone in the patient’s body, and medications will help in stimulating the rupture of the follicle and the release of the egg. Is prevention feasible? It is necessary that the follicle rupture occurs, ovulation arrives and discharge occurs on time. However, there are certain reasons because of which the fair sex from 18 to 40 years old may encounter problems with ovulation:
- lack of useful components;
- inappropriate food;
- stressful situations, bad mood;
- bad habits;
- sudden changes in weight;
- irregular intimate life;
- hormonal medications;
- malnutrition.
Do I need specialist supervision?
Of course, observation by a gynecologist for the sake of prevention is simply necessary to avoid problems with the ovaries in the future. This can be explained as follows:
- the more the pathology is launched, the less hope for the onset of pregnancy in the future;
- the larger the cyst, the greater the danger it poses;
- benign cysts can become malignant tumors;
- with large and multiple follicles, rupture of the ovary is possible.
What does it take to get pregnant?
After determining the reason why the follicle does not burst, “What should I do to get pregnant?” Is the main question. The doctor will prescribe special procedures. They can quickly improve the work of blood circulation and metabolism in the area of the appearance of the cyst, and this will contribute to its resorption. Almost the most important element of therapy is psychotherapy, which helps to normalize the psychoemotional state of a woman, so that in the future there will be no problems with the hormonal background. For this, oxygen therapy (filling the brain with oxygen), consultations with a psychologist, the use of antidepressants and hormonal drugs are used.
During treatment, you need to adhere to the correct diet so that the body has enough of all the necessary substances. A specialist can prescribe vitamin complexes and a certain diet.
Can I get pregnant after treatment?
After the therapy is completed and the woman's condition returns to normal, she will be able to become pregnant.
In very advanced cases, when the cyst is more than eight centimeters, the specialist will prescribe surgical intervention. Laparoscopy will be required, the operation will be done through a small passage in the peritoneum. After her there will be no huge scars, and there is also no great danger to health.
