Patient's question:
The egg shrinks to a certain extent and all six hormones are low. How should it be treated?Doctor's answer:
Hello: Treatment of Ovulation Disorders:To induce ovulation, it is first necessary to identify the cause of anovulation in the hypothalamic-pituitary-ovarian axis. Only then can targeted treatment be administered. Cases where the ovary itself is underdeveloped have poor treatment outcomes. If the cause is due to psychological or environmental factors, in addition to general health therapies, patients need to be helped to analyze the underlying causes, receive psychological guidance, and eliminate adverse factors. For mild dysfunctions in the hypothalamus, pituitary, or ovaries, certain medications can be selected to induce ovulation and achieve therapeutic effects.
The drugs used for ovulation induction and their target organs are as follows:
① Gonadotropins: Human Menopausal Gonadotropin (HMG) – Human Chorionic Gonadotropin (HCG), targeting the ovaries.
② Estrogen acts on the hypothalamic-ovarian-uterine axis.
③ Clomiphene acts on the hypothalamus.
④ Bromocriptine acts on the hypothalamus and the anterior lobe of the pituitary.
⑤ Gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) acts on the anterior lobe of the pituitary.
