Ovulation occurs without sex. Ovulation is generally an independent function of a woman of childbearing age and occurs with or without sex.
Ovulation refers to the release of an egg from the ovary, and the release of a normal follicle is essential for pregnancy.
During each menstrual cycle, one to two or more follicles typically grow and develop from a primordial state into a mature follicle, and ovulation occurs between menstrual periods in most women.
There are more factors affecting ovulation, such as: abnormal hypothalamic-pituitary function, premature ovarian failure, polycystic ovary syndrome and so on. Therefore, sex does not affect ovulation.
After puberty, with the growth and development of the body, the follicle growth of women of childbearing age has obvious cyclical changes. Therefore, follicles have a certain growth and development cycle, which has no relationship with sexual life.
