Patient's question:
I've been married for a long time, but I haven't been able to get pregnant. After checking the hospital, I found out that I don't ovulate. I asked the doctor how they usually diagnose ovulation disorders in general.Doctor's answer:
Hello. 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. Furthermore, if ovulation does not occur for a long time, the metabolism of sex hormones becomes disordered, the endometrium becomes excessively fibrotic without the counteracting effect of cyclic progesterone, making it easier to develop endometrial cancer and breast cancer. Therefore, sufficient attention should be given to individuals with ovulation disorders, and active diagnosis and treatment should be implemented. There are many treatment methods in obstetrics and gynecology, but since the patient's condition varies, the diagnostic methods used will also differ. Therefore, it is necessary for patients to be diagnosed as soon as possible so that treatment can be tailored to their specific condition.
