Can luteal phase dysfunction cause infertility?

Patient's question:

Detailed medical history and consultation purpose: Weight 75 kg, height 155 cm, never pregnant, normal gynecological examination, basal body temperature test showed a rise of 11 days after ovulation, with a maximum of 36.9 degrees Celsius. Is it possible that it is luteal phase deficiency?

Doctor's answer:

Hello, the exact cause of luteal phase defect is still unclear. It may be related to insufficient luteinizing hormone or follicle-stimulating hormone secretion by the pituitary gland, or excessive or insufficient prolactin secretion by the pituitary gland; some cases are due to the immaturity of the follicle itself, which is insensitive to gonadotropins; some are due to insufficient progesterone synthesis capacity of the corpus luteum, or an imbalance in the ratio of estrogen and progesterone.
It is recommended to check the cause and treat accordingly, or follow medical advice for assisted conception. Take medication according to symptoms. Maintain a light diet. Wish you good health.
