Patient's question:
I've been married for a long time, but haven't been pregnant yet. After the check-up, it was found to be my issue, and I feel very distressed. Could you please ask the doctor what are the general reasons for not ovulating?Doctor's answer:
Hello, the reasons for anovulation are:1. Hypothalamic disorders are divided into functional and organic categories. The former includes idiopathic hypothalamic amenorrhea, psychogenic amenorrhea, functional hyperprolactinemia, and anorexia nervosa. The latter includes hypothalamic tumors, post-encephalitis, and post-head trauma.
2. Pituitary dysfunction, including pituitary adenomas, Sheehan syndrome, tuberculosis or syphilitic granulomas.
3. Ovarian dysfunction includes primary and secondary amenorrhea. The former includes Turner syndrome, among others. The latter includes premature ovarian failure, organic damage to the ovaries, such as functional loss after radiation exposure, and destruction caused by tumors or inflammation.
