What does "evidence of dominant follicle in ovary" on follicular scan mean?
Patient: I had undergone serial follicular scan test on 8th day after my periods Below is the result  Right ovary - 36 x 23 mm Left Ovary - 29 x 25 mm  ET (mm) - 5.9 mm  Right ovary (mm) - evidence of a dominant follicle measuring 16 x 16 mm  Left ovary (mm) - no dominant follicle  POD - free  could you tel me whether the resullt is normal? Doctor: Hi, I think you have a normal scan. Dominant follicle means that the follicle which is largest in size and it releases an egg when it reaches a size more than 17 to 18 mm. Egg gets fertilised by sperm and pregnancg happen. So you have got one dominant follicle which is normal. You can be in contact with your husband every 2 to 3 days if you want to get pregnant.  Hope I have answered your question.  If you have any other query I will be happy to help.Regards Dr khushboo
