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 I should pay attention to if it's found that I have ovulation disorders, as I'm still in my fertile age?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 disordered, the endometrium becomes excessively fibrotic without the counteraction of cyclic progesterone, making it easier to develop endometrial cancer and breast cancer again.Treatment for ovulation disorders:
1. Follicular phase. The foundation is to replenish qi and nourish yin, while also incorporating herbs that tonify both yin and yang in the kidneys. This helps promote the development and maturation of follicles.
2. Ovulatory phase. At this time, the focus should be on nourishing essence and blood, while also adding herbs that unblock meridians, promote qi flow, and activate blood circulation to facilitate ovulation.
