Patient's question:
My wife has always been ovulation-free. I don't know if this is good or bad for her health. Will she still have her period if she doesn't ovulate? I'd like to ask for some clarification. Does a woman still have her period if she doesn't ovulate?Doctor's answer:
Hello! To be precise, it is the absence of ovulation that leads to normal menstruation, not the other way around. Ovulation failure may be due to insufficient luteal function of the ovary, which is related to endocrine issues. It is recommended to have blood tests for the six major sex hormones within 2-4 days of your period to check if your endocrine system is normal. Specific diagnosis should also include ultrasound monitoring of ovulation to determine whether the follicle has matured, undergone luteinization, or failed to grow.
