    Abstract:

    Ovarian follicle expansion is an important part of their growth and development into dominant follicles, and is regulated by a variety of molecules and signals, including follicular cavity formation, follicular fluid accumulation, and granulosa cell proliferation. Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is the most common reproductive endocrine disease in women, and patients mainly present with increased preantral follicles and polycystic ovarian lesions caused by inadequate ovarian follicle expansion. This review summarizes recent research developments concerning the physiological process of ovarian follicle expansion and the related regulatory factors and mechanisms.We also consider the possible factors restricting ovarian follicle expansion in patients with PCOS, to provide a theoretical basis for follicular dysplasia, ovulation disorders and other diseases caused by abnormal ovarian follicle expansion.
