Follicle Puncture Procedure

The process of follicle puncture. Under the guidance of ultrasound, the immature follicles were punctured and the follicular fluid was extracted, and then the changes of the endocrine function of the patients were observed. After the puncture treatment, the blood testosterone of the patient will be significantly reduced, and the ratio of luteinizing hormone to follicle stimulating hormone is also significantly reduced. Follicle puncture can effectively improve the endocrine condition of patients with PCOS, promote ovulation and increase the possibility of conception.

Ovarian perforation under ultrasound is performed under intravenous anesthesia. Because the ovaries without ovulation induction are small in size and have large range of motion, it is difficult to fix the ovaries when puncturing small follicles, and the ovaries swim greatly when puncturing, which makes the pulling feel very uncomfortable. Therefore, it is relatively safe to perform under anesthesia. We usually choose 18G oocyte taking needle with negative pressure of -120 ~ 130mmHg to puncture small follicles one by one.

Follicle piercings don't hurt because they're done under local anesthesia. Puncture is a diagnosis and treatment technique in which a puncture needle is inserted into the body cavity to extract secretions for testing, gas or contrast agent is injected into the body cavity for angiographic examination, or drugs are injected into the body cavity. Under normal circumstances, there will be a local anesthetic, and you won't feel much. There will be no bleeding or damage to other tissues during the puncture, which is an extremely safe treatment method. With the development of medical technology, follicle puncture is also very common, do not worry too much.
