Ovarian follicles can be assessed through various diagnostic techniques, including:
Ultrasound: Transvaginal ultrasound is commonly used to visualize and measure the size and number of ovarian follicles. Hormone Levels: Blood tests to measure levels of FSH, LH, estrogen, and anti-Müllerian hormone (AMH) can provide information about ovarian reserve and follicle function. Follicular Monitoring: Serial ultrasounds to track the growth and development of follicles during the menstrual cycle, often used in fertility treatments.
