Patient's question:
I've been married for several years now, and we still don't have any children. I'm very anxious about it and don't know if it's my problem. I've asked my husband to get checked, but he refuses. I'm afraid my condition might worsen. How can I be diagnosed with luteal phase defect?Doctor's answer:
Hello: Hypothalamic dysfunction refers to the incomplete formation of the corpus luteum after ovulation, leading to insufficient hormone production, which prevents the timely transformation of the endometrium and hinders the implantation of the fertilized egg, often resulting in infertility. Suggestions: It is highly recommended that you actively seek medical examination in a formal hospital's gynecology and obstetrics department, as this is very necessary. Additionally, pay close attention to maintaining a regular lifestyle and a light diet. The main examination methods include serum hormone testing, vaginal smear, ultrasound, and laparoscopy. I hope my answer can be helpful to you.
