Patient's question:
What are the ovulation-inducing drugs? Which one generally has fewer side effects?Additional question for the first time: What are the common names for clomiphene, bromocriptine, and letrozole?
Doctor's answer:
Gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) is secreted by neurons in the hypothalamus. It stimulates the synthesis and release of FSH and LH from gonadotrope cells in the pituitary gland, thereby promoting follicular growth to achieve ovulation. It is particularly suitable for women whose hypothalamic function has been inhibited due to anxiety, malnutrition, or long-term medication use.
