Patient's question:
Female, 31 years old, my sister started trying to conceive after getting married. It has been a long time, but there are still no signs of pregnancy. After a thorough examination at the hospital, it was discovered that she has ovulation dysfunction. How could it be so serious? What are the causes of ovulation dysfunction?Doctor's answer:
Polycystic ovary syndrome mainly refers to anovulation, where some individuals with endocrine disorders may experience anovulation. For example, patients with polycystic ovary syndrome, severe diabetes, or thyroid function abnormalities such as hyperthyroidism or hypothyroidism may also cause anovulation.Additionally, apart from emotional factors that may stimulate the hypothalamus, we know that normal women have a gonadal axis, which includes the hypothalamus, pituitary gland, and ovaries. This axis releases hormones that affect ovarian function. If the gonadal axis is stimulated by emotional factors or certain medications, it may become disrupted, leading to anovulation.
