Atretic follicles are ovarian follicles that have undergone a process of degeneration and are no longer viable. During the menstrual cycle, not all developing follicles mature; some undergo atresia, leading to their regression and absorption by the surrounding tissue. This process is a normal part of ovarian function and helps regulate the number of follicles available for potential ovulation. Atretic follicles can be identified histologically by changes in their cellular structure and reduced hormone production.

What is an atretic follicle?
An atretic follicle is a degenerated ovarian follicle that has failed to mature and become a viable egg. During the menstrual cycle, many follicles begin to develop, but typically only one reaches full maturity; the rest undergo atresia, a process where they break down and are reabsorbed by the body. Atretic follicles are characterized by changes in their structure, including the collapse of the follicular wall and loss of oocyte viability. This process is a normal part of follicular development and ovarian function.
Does ovarian follicles contain mature eggs?
Ovarian follicles contain developing eggs, or oocytes, but not all follicles contain mature eggs. As a female matures, some follicles grow and develop, with only one typically becoming the dominant follicle that releases a mature egg during ovulation. Other follicles may degenerate or become atretic. Therefore, while follicles contain eggs, only certain ones will reach maturity and be released.
