What Happens to the Body During Ovulation?

As the follicles mature, the follicles gradually migrate towards the surface of the ovary and protrude outward. As the follicle approaches the surface of the ovary, the surface cells there become thinner and eventually rupture. After most of the follicular fluid flows out, the egg cells are discharged, which is called "ovulation". If the menstrual cycle is accurate, the ovulation date of women is generally about 14 days before the next menstrual period. Generally, the first 5 days and the last 4 days of the ovulation day, together with 10 days including the ovulation day, are called the ovulation period. After the egg is discharged from the ovary, it can survive in the fallopian tube for 1 to 2 days to wait for fertilization; men's sperm can maintain the fertilization ability in the woman's reproductive tract for 2 to 3 days, so it is easy to conceive during sexual intercourse a few days before and after the egg is discharged. Because sexual intercourse is apt to conceive during ovulation, ovulation is also known as susceptible or dangerous period. Hormone levels in the blood, cervical mucus, exfoliated vaginal cells, and ultrasound may help determine ovulation.
