Can endocrine disorders be a cause of infertility?

Patient's question:

Two years have passed since the divorce, and I haven't been able to get pregnant. On the surface, my health seems fine, and I don't have any major issues. However, I've always had irregular periods—sometimes I get one normal period a month, while other times it's two months or even three or four decades before my next period. I've seen a traditional Chinese medicine doctor, who said it's caused by endocrine disorder. I've been taking herbal medicine to regulate it, but it hasn't improved.

Doctor's answer:

Endocrine disorders can lead to infertility. They may cause conditions such as amenorrhea, oligomenorrhea, and dysfunctional uterine bleeding, which can result in infertility. This type of infertility caused by endocrine issues is known as endocrine disorder infertility. For patients, if the gynecological condition is severe, immediate symptomatic treatment and proper medication are necessary. Otherwise, the condition may recur. Additionally, patients should pay attention to their diet and psychological care. It is hoped that the answers to these questions can assist everyone.
