Patient's question:
It has been over a year since we got married, and I have not been using any form of contraception. However, I still haven't become pregnant. The doctor who examined me said I have ovulation dysfunction. Please ask: What tests are there for ovulation dysfunction?Doctor's answer:
Ovulation disorders, also known as anovulation, are one of the main causes of female infertility, accounting for approximately 25-30%. In addition to causing infertility, ovulation disorders can also lead to symptoms such as menstrual irregularities, amenorrhea, hirsutism, and obesity.Methods for diagnosing ovulation disorders:
1. Cervical mucus examination: During the second half of the menstrual cycle, if the cervical mucus remains fern-like (like the leaves of a fern plant) and lacks elliptical bodies, it indicates the absence of menopause.
2. Endometrial examination: Ovulation disorders are influenced by the effects of estrogen and progesterone from the ovaries.
3. Examination of vaginal shed cells: The epithelial cells in the upper third of the vagina are highly sensitive to hormonal changes and exhibit cyclical variations throughout the menstrual cycle.
In addition to gynecological treatment, it is recommended that patients pay attention to their diet in daily life and maintain a positive mood to enhance their physical condition and accelerate recovery.
