Multiple follicles, meaning two or more follicles. Follicles are reproductive cells in the female ovary. There are many primordial follicles in the bilateral ovaries, and primordial follicles are generally invisible. Under normal circumstances, in each menstrual cycle, there will be one primordial follicle in one ovary that develops into a mature follicle, and it ruptures and ovulates within a certain period of time. This is the basis for successful pregnancy in women. If multiple follicles are seen in a woman's ovaries at the same time, it is suspected that she has polycystic ovary syndrome, and six tests for sex hormones are needed to further confirm the diagnosis. In addition, women who take ovulation-stimulating drugs will also see multiple follicles in their ovaries.
