Follicular Phase Support

Meaning

Follicular Phase Support is a targeted clinical strategy aimed at optimizing the physiological processes that occur during the first half of the ovarian cycle, specifically from the onset of menstruation until ovulation. This support focuses on promoting the healthy growth and maturation of the dominant ovarian follicle, ensuring adequate estradiol production, and preparing the endometrium for potential implantation. Interventions often involve nutritional supplementation, lifestyle modifications, or exogenous hormonal agents designed to enhance the sensitivity of the ovarian tissue to follicle-stimulating hormone and luteinizing hormone signaling. The goal is to maximize oocyte quality and reproductive potential by fostering an optimal endocrine environment.
