What is it? <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Ultrasound examination of the ovaries to image the ovarian follicles (tiny egg like structures that release the female egg every month) and detect proper count, growth and ovulation<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n Who needs it<\/strong>?<\/p>\n\n\n\n Women who need to be evaluated for infertility, menstrual and ovulation problems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n How is it done?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n This is typically done in 3 or more visits, either daily or on alternate days, starting from day 8 to day 10 after the first day of the last menstruation. Although this may vary based on individual menstrual cycle length.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The scan is typically a transvaginal<\/a> ultrasound although some women may have adequate visibility of their ovaries from a pelvic approach.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Ultrasound features can reveal, follicle growth pattern, an imminent ovulation or evidence of ovulation. Such information can be used by you or your doctor in planning your fertility management.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Any precaution?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Ultrasound scans are very safe and pose no radiation or heat hazard. Sexual activities can continue during the follicular tracking.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Further discuss with your doctor to clarify any required information and care.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" WHAT IS FOLLICULOMETRY OR FOLLICULAR TRACKING So you have been booked for a follicular tracking ultrasound scan, let’s break it down in a bit What is it?
