Normal follicle count (4-24): Normal follicle amount for women in reproductive age. High follicle count (>=): High risk of hyperandrogenism. It has been ...
This loss is not necessarily a direct effect of the chemotherapeutic agents, but could be due to an increased rate of growth initiation to replace damaged developing follicles.
