Folliculometry: A Key Tool in Fertility Monitoring – Explained by Dr. G. B. Dutta
For couples planning a pregnancy or those undergoing fertility treatment, understanding the ovulation cycle is crucial. One of the most reliable and clinically proven methods to track ovulation is folliculometry, a specialized ultrasound-based process. Under the expert guidance of renowned fertility specialist Dr. G. B. Dutta, folliculometry has helped countless women understand their reproductive cycle better and significantly improve their chances of conception.
What Is Folliculometry?
Folliculometry is a series of transvaginal ultrasounds performed across a woman’s menstrual cycle to:
Monitor the growth and development of ovarian follicles
Detect the exact timing of ovulation
Track endometrial thickness
Support fertility treatment cycles (IUI/IVF)
As follicles grow and mature, they reach a specific size before releasing an egg — and folliculometry helps identify this precise moment.
Why Is Folliculometry Important?
Under the care of Dr. G. B. Dutta, folliculometry becomes an essential diagnostic and treatment tool because it:
✔ Helps determine the most fertile days
Accurate timing of ovulation increases the chances of natural conception.
✔ Improves the success of fertility treatments
For IUI and IVF cycles, follicle tracking is crucial to plan medication doses and treatment timing.
✔ Identifies ovulation-related problems
Such as anovulation, delayed ovulation, or immature follicle development.
✔ Monitors response to fertility medications
Ensures the ovaries are responding safely and effectively.
✔ Provides clarity for couples
Understanding the cycle reduces stress and confusion during conception efforts.
