Patient's question:
I've been married for several years, and so far, we haven't had any children. I'm very anxious about it and don't know if it's my problem. I've asked my husband to get checked, but he refuses. I'm afraid my condition might worsen. Could you please tell me what are the common causes of ovulation disorders?Doctor's answer:
I. Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS): Why Do Women Fail to Ovulate? Experts say that those who are familiar with PCOS should be aware that this condition has a significant characteristic: failure to ovulate. When women suffer from PCOS, it can lead to abnormal secretion of female hormones. When the follicle develops to a certain extent, it cannot mature and release an egg due to a lack of female hormones.II. Luteal Phase Defect: If a woman experiences luteal phase defect, it can also cause ovulation disorders. This is because after the female follicle matures and releases an egg, it transforms into a corpus luteum. If a woman has luteal phase defect, it means her follicles do not develop properly. In such cases, there would be no mature eggs released, leading to ovulation disorders. Therefore, this is also one of the factors that contribute to ovulation disorders.
