Abstract

Ovulation is the release of a mature egg (ovum) from the ovarian follicle. Each menstrual cycle, several ovarian follicles begin to mature and develop under the influence of pituitary hormones. Ayurvdeda also gives emphasis up on ovulation and considers ovum as one of the essential factor of conception.
