GlossaryAntral Follicle Count

measure of small ovarian follicles to assess fertility potential

Antral Follicle Count (AFC) is a measure of the number of small follicles within the ovaries, typically assessed via transvaginal ultrasound. These follicles are in an early stage of development and their count is used to estimate a woman's ovarian reserve, which can be important for fertility assessments and treatments.
