Patient's question:
Hello, what are the reasons why women do not ovulate? My menstrual cycle is normal, and I don't have any menstrual cramps either. Also, my endocrine system is not out of balance, so why would I not ovulate and be unable to get pregnant? Why is this happening???Doctor's answer:
Hello, the reasons are as follows:1. Hypothalamic disorders: These are divided into functional and organic types. The former includes idiopathic hypothalamic amenorrhea, psychogenic amenorrhea, functional hyperprolactinemia, and anorexia nervosa; the latter includes hypothalamic tumors, post-encephalitis, and post-head trauma.
2. Pituitary dysfunction: Pituitary adenomas, Sheehan syndrome, tuberculosis or syphilitic granulomas.
3. Ovarian dysfunction: This includes primary ovarian amenorrhea and secondary amenorrhea. The former includes Turner syndrome, among others. The latter includes premature ovarian failure, organic damage to the ovaries, such as functional loss after radiation exposure, destruction caused by tumors or inflammation.
