Patient's question:
I am 30 years old and have been single for two years. Since last year, my menstrual cycle has been irregular, and I haven't been able to conceive successfully. I had a thorough check-up at the hospital, and they said it's ovulation disorder. I don't understand what that means. What is ovulation disorder?Doctor's answer:
Menstruation may be relatively chaotic. In normal women, one follicle grows and ovulates each month. Ovulation dysfunction refers to the failure of a follicle to develop or its slow development, leading to irregular ovulation. If ovulation does not occur normally, sperm cannot fuse with eggs, resulting in infertility. It is recommended to visit a hospital to identify the cause of ovulation dysfunction and determine if other infertility factors are present. If no other infertility factors are present, ovulation can be stimulated with medication to promote ovulation, and timed intercourse can be recommended for pregnancy.
