Patient's question:
After getting married, I have always wanted a child, but it has been two years without pregnancy. Last month, I had a thorough check-up at the hospital and was told it was ovulation disorder. I would like to know what precautions to take when taking medication for ovulation disorder.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. Furthermore, if ovulation does not occur for a long time, the metabolism of sex hormones becomes disrupted. The endometrium may become excessively fibrotic without the counteraction of cyclic progesterone, making it easier to develop endometrial cancer and breast cancer again. Therefore, sufficient attention should be given to individuals with ovulation disorders.For the treatment of ovulation disorders, it is first necessary to conduct thorough examinations to identify the underlying causes. The main examinations include: endometrial examination, basal body temperature measurement, cervical mucus examination, and MRI follicle examination. Based on the identified causes, the appropriate treatment timing should be determined.
