It means you're about to ovulate.
In the context of the left ovary, a follicle measuring 19 mm typically refers to a mature ovarian follicle that is preparing to release an egg during the ovulation process. Follicles are fluid-filled sacs that contain immature eggs, and their size is an important indicator of reproductive health and fertility. A 19 mm follicle suggests that it may be close to ovulation, as mature follicles usually range from 18 to 24 mm in size before releasing an egg. Monitoring follicle size is often part of fertility assessments or ovarian function evaluations.
If this is in your body, are you really going to accept the explanation you get from some anonymousweirdo on the internet ??PLEASE . . . discuss it with your doctor, and keep discussing until you completely understand what he'stalking about.
It is a false statement. The word "oval" is derived from ova = egg, as is the word "ovary". But an ovary is only very approximately oval-shaped.
A real doctor, preferably a gynecologist, is the best person to answer that question. As for me, I'm pretty sure it indicates something.
Assuming you haven't been through menopause yet, it's a good thing! Follicles form normally when you ovulate...they will always show up in an ultrasound of your ovaries. When they do these, they also look for ascites which is a fluid that builds up around ovarian tumors...sounds like your scan was normal...I have them done every 3 months due to a family history of ovarian cancer and have done lots of research to understand my test results.
A dominant follicle in the left ovary simply means that that particular follicle is responsible for releasing the egg for sterilization. The follicle that is not dominant will return the egg back to the ovary.
This refers to a single mature egg-containing follicle (dominant) being present in the left ovary, measuring 21x25mm in size. The absence of pelvis ascites indicates no abnormal fluid in the pelvic region.

Ovarian Follicle of the Ovary
Follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) is the hormone that stimulates follicle development in the ovary. It is produced by the pituitary gland and plays a key role in the menstrual cycle of females.
the hair follicle is a skin organ that produces hair.
The inner part of an ovary that contains an egg is called a follicle. The follicle is a structure within the ovary that nurtures and protects the developing egg until it is released during ovulation.
