Follicular Study

A follicular study ultrasound, also known as follicle tracking or ovarian monitoring, is a specialized ultrasound procedure used in reproductive medicine to monitor the growth and development of ovarian follicles in the ovaries. It involves periodic ultrasound examinations, typically starting from the early days of the menstrual cycle, to track the maturation of ovarian follicles and the timing of ovulation. This helps healthcare providers assess ovarian function, predict ovulation, and optimize the timing of fertility treatments such as timed intercourse or assisted reproductive technologies like intrauterine insemination (IUI) or in vitro fertilization (IVF). Follicular study ultrasounds are a valuable tool in fertility evaluation and management, aiding in the diagnosis and treatment of infertility issues.
