When does a girl have eggs? Uncovering the key stages of female reproductive development
The development of the female reproductive system is a complex and precise process, and the formation and storage of eggs are related to future fertility. This article will combine scientific data and recent hot topics to analyze in detail the production time, number changes and related health knowledge of girls’ eggs.
A girl's eggs begin forming during fetal life but do not mature and are released periodically until puberty. The following are the key stages of egg development:

| developmental stage | Time node | Changes in egg count | Physiological characteristics |
|---|---|---|---|
| fetal period | About 20 weeks pregnant | About 6-7 million | Primordial follicles form and reach their peak number |
| at birth | neonatal stage | About 1 million-2 million | Follicles naturally undergo apoptosis and their number decreases sharply |
| adolescence | 10-16 years old | About 300,000-500,000 | At menarche, follicles begin to develop cyclically |
| adulthood | 18-35 years old | About 100,000-200,000 | 1-2 eggs are ovulated every month, and the remaining follicles are atretic. |
| menopause | 45-55 years old | <1000 | Follicles are depleted and ovulation stops |
Combined with the hot discussions on the Internet in the past 10 days, the following are hot topics related to female egg health:
| Topic keywords | focus of discussion | scientific advice |
|---|---|---|
| "Premature ovarian failure" | Causes of declining egg reserve in young women | Avoid staying up late and being stressed, and check AMH hormone regularly |
| "Egg freezing technology" | The feasibility of preserving fertility for women | The best age for egg freezing is 25-35 years old, which requires professional evaluation |
| "polycystic ovary syndrome" | Common diseases of follicle development disorders | Requires hormonal regulation and lifestyle intervention |
The quantity and quality of eggs directly affect fertility. The following measures can help maintain egg health:
1. Nutritional balance:Supplement folic acid, vitamin E and Omega-3, and eat more dark vegetables and high-quality protein.
2. Avoid toxins:Stay away from tobacco, alcohol, chemical hair dyes and environmental pollution.
3. Regular schedule:Ensure 7-8 hours of sleep to reduce the interference of staying up late on hormone secretion.
4. Moderate exercise:Aerobic exercise such as yoga and jogging can improve pelvic blood circulation.
Misunderstanding 1:"Girls don't have eggs until they are born."
Facts:Eggs are formed during the fetal period and their number gradually decreases after birth.
Misunderstanding 2:“A new egg is released with each menstruation.”
Facts:Ovulation is the result of the development of follicles, and the eggs themselves are already present in the fetus.
By scientifically understanding the development rules of eggs, women can better plan their reproductive choices and pay attention to reproductive health protection. For individualized advice, it is recommended to consult a professional gynecologist.
