A member asked:
Was told i have over 10 follicles and that it is a good thing. i have pcos. how is that many follicles good?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Normal: Each ovarian follicle contains an egg. They are supposed to be there. PCOS is the condition of having many partially developed ovarian follicles (cysts). They are awaiting the signal to develop and to eventually release an egg (i.e. ovulation). In a patient with PCOS that signal does not come regularly, hence the many small follicles - again that is normal and normal is inherently good.
