What help do you want: Want to know if this belongs to anovulatory menstruation.
Doctor's answer:
Irregular menstrual cycles make it difficult to accurately determine the time of ovulation. Generally, a transvaginal ultrasound is performed on the 12th day after the onset of menstruation to assess the development of follicles. If no follicles are observed, a follow-up ultrasound is conducted after one week. If follicles are detected, the timing for the second ultrasound is determined based on their size. In cases of polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), a diagnosis is made by combining a six-panel hormone test with ultrasound observation of the number of follicles. If PCOS is confirmed, hormone cycle therapy for three to six months is recommended to assess whether natural ovulation can be restored. After the insertion of an intrauterine device (IUD), some individuals may experience menstrual cycle irregularities, while others may experience temporary infertility. This requires observation to determine the specific outcome.
