Patient's question:
Is ovulation failure serious? What are the reasons that cause ovulation failure? Been trying to conceive for two years without success, then found out at the hospital that I don't ovulate. Don't know what to do, want to know what causes ovulation failure, and whether it will affect my future ability to conceive.Doctor's answer:
1. Pituitary dysfunction: Pituitary dysfunction is a major cause of ovulatory disorders.2. Hypothalamic disorders: These are classified into functional and organic types. The former include idiopathic hypothalamic amenorrhea, psychogenic amenorrhea, functional hyperprolactinemia, and anorexia nervosa; the latter include hypothalamic tumors, post-encephalitis, and post-head trauma.
3. Ovarian dysfunction: This includes primary ovarian amenorrhea and secondary ovarian amenorrhea. The former includes conditions such as Turner syndrome. The latter includes premature ovarian failure, organic damage to the ovaries, such as loss of function after radiation exposure, and destruction caused by tumors or inflammation.
4. Other endocrine glands: Severe malnutrition, hyperthyroidism, etc., interfere with ovarian function, leading to anovulation.
