Pregnancy planning is an important step in the life of every family. However, often this pleasant event can spoil the gynecological pathology. For example, multifollicular ovaries and pregnancy are a fairly common combination today. Many women do not take this disease seriously, considering it only a small deviation from the norm. But there are cases when this disease leads to infertility of a woman.
Multifollicular ovaries - the formation in the ovaries of more than 8 follicles, which is diagnosed by ultrasound. It is believed that the formation of more than 3 follicles in the ovaries is already a small deviation from the norm, but several times a year this is allowed.
If we examine this issue more deeply, multifollicular ovaries are a variant of the norm on the 5-7th day of the cycle, however, it is very difficult to distinguish between polycystic and multifollicular ovaries by ultrasound. Therefore, if any pathology is detected, the woman is observed by a gynecologist.
Multifollicular ovary syndrome is observed with a deficiency of the latinizing phase of the cycle, or with prolonged use of hormonal drugs. At the same time, there is a violation of the menstrual cycle in the form of the absence of menstruation or rare periods (1 time in 2-3 months, sometimes 1 time in six months).
If, when observing a woman with signs of multifollicular ovaries, a polycystic pathology is detected, then the woman needs treatment. Multifollicular ovaries and pregnancy are considered by gynecologists as a possible threat of miscarriage and premature birth.
If the syndrome of multifollicular ovaries is not accompanied by anovulatory cycles (i.e. normal pregnancy is possible), then multifollicular ovaries and pregnancy are not considered as an option for pathology.
If a woman with this syndrome does not ovulate for three or more cycles, then the woman needs treatment and supervision, and pregnancy in this case is undesirable (and, in principle, impossible).
Therefore, multifollicular ovaries and pregnancy are a condition that requires observation and a complete diagnosis of the condition of the woman. However, you should not think that this pathology is a contraindication to pregnancy planning. If all the indicators (hormones, ultrasound) of the woman are normal, then pregnancy is quite possible.
After pregnancy has occurred, a number of physiological changes occur in the woman’s body, which entail some characteristic changes in the woman’s well-being. For example, ovarian enlargement during pregnancy is a normal variant. The corpus luteum exists until the 14th week of pregnancy, so before this period it is possible to palpate a slightly enlarged one of the ovaries.
Also, after pregnancy, a woman can feel pain. This may be a variant of the norm or pathology.
Why do ovaries hurt during pregnancy - this issue is of interest to many expectant mothers, because during a desired pregnancy, women are very sensitive and suspicious of their health.
Pain in the ovaries during pregnancy can be:
- As a result of physiological sprain of the uterus, which is perceived as pain in the ovaries.
- Due to inflammation of the appendages. This may be the result of a long chronic process that exists before pregnancy. But this process can occur with an existing pregnancy. In both cases, these processes require observation and treatment.
- Other pelvic inflammatory processes also require treatment.
- In the absence of organic pathology, a psychogenic pain syndrome during pregnancy is diagnosed, which requires the correction of a psychotherapist.
As a rule, a minor pain syndrome during pregnancy disappears after a quiet time in a horizontal position or after sleep. However, if the pain does not calm down, then you need to consult a doctor for advice.
