The egg, the seed of life produced by a woman’s ovaries, has its happiest ending when it meets and unites with the true sperm to form a new life form. However, reality is often bleak and almost all eggs cannot wait for such a day.
Premature death
Very few eggs grow to maturity during a woman’s lifetime, and the vast majority of the remaining eggs die during their growth journey.
1. In normal girls, millions of tiny eggs (primary oocytes) exist in the ovaries before birth. As she grows older, the number of eggs does not increase accordingly, but instead dies in large numbers. There is no way around it, raising a single egg is too energy and time consuming, and ovarian mothers have limited energy and have to give up the vast majority of their children, who die at birth. By the time they reach sexual maturity, there are only about 100,000 eggs left. At this stage, the percentage of dead eggs is the largest.
2. The egg bubbles in the follicle and can develop and mature under the action of sex hormones. However, only one egg can mature each month. During a woman’s lifetime, about 400 eggs can mature, and the remaining ones will die on their own if they are not mature enough, which is also a kind of premature death.
3. Another type of premature death is more equal. For example, in women with polycystic ovary syndrome, there are basically no eggs to mature each month, and when the eggs grow a little bit bigger in size, they don’t grow much. But fortunately, I can not grow up, you can not grow up, hey, we all die together!
suffocate
If a woman’s body has hormonal problems, her eggs mature but cannot break through the follicles, so she has to die in the follicles, and the unbroken follicles become luteinized, this is called unruptured follicle luteinization syndrome (LUFS).
Boring death
Some eggs mature and are expelled from the follicle without incident, but don’t be too happy. Some women have chronic tubal infections and the umbilical part of the fallopian tube near the ovary becomes adherent and closes the opening of the umbilical end, or even the umbilical structure is missing, forming a hydrocele in the fallopian tube. The poor egg cannot enter the fallopian tube and has to draw circles around the ovaries until the end of her life.
Tired of walking
In some women, the inflammation of the fallopian tubes is not so severe that the egg can enter the lumen of the fallopian tube. However, the fallopian tubes are still affected by the inflammation, and they are bent and twisted, seemingly not through, walking and walking, neither meeting the real sperm, nor going to the head, until they die of exhaustion in the fallopian tubes.
Dying alone
Well, one egg finally passes through the fallopian tube after a lot of hard work, but does not meet the real sperm, and arrives at the uterus still alone and miserable, feeling sorry for herself, and finally follows her period to the wonderful world outside, but unfortunately, it is discarded in the garbage.
Happy death
The egg, in life there is always the possibility of waiting for its true sperm, if in the fallopian tube met, fell in love, combined, although the egg disappeared, but the achievement of a new life form, really happy death. But this happiness is for the egg, for the woman, sometimes it does not have to be happiness. You can’t see that the abortion room is crowded every day.
High and Cool
There is another kind of egg, more noble, chasing her sperm if the quality is not high, crooked, she would rather be alone, cold to death.
Freezing death
Since the introduction of IVF, there is one more way for eggs to die. When more eggs are produced, they may not be used for a while, so they will be frozen in liquid nitrogen to be thawed out in the future. But not all eggs are so lucky, some are frozen to death without a future date.
