Doctor's answer:
Infertility is a serious disease that poses significant harm to women. Its occurrence brings distress to many women, as they may experience symptoms such as hirsutism, obesity, acne, menstrual irregularities, and infertility after developing this condition.Symptoms of Infertility:
1. Developmental Status
Tall stature and underdeveloped secondary sexual characteristics may indicate abnormal sexual function caused by central nervous system issues. Excessive hair growth could be due to excessive androgen secretion by the ovaries or adrenal glands. Milk discharge from the nipples may suggest high prolactin levels in the blood.
2. Menstrual Status
Menstrual irregularities and amenorrhea are symptoms of infertility.
3. Lower Back Pain and Lower Abdominal Pain
Mild lower back pain and lower abdominal pain may occur during ovulation, but the presence of these symptoms does not necessarily confirm ovulation. Some gynecological conditions can also cause lower back and abdominal pain.
4. Light Vaginal Bleeding
A small number of people may experience light vaginal bleeding between periods, less than the amount of a normal menstrual period. This is known as "ovulatory bleeding" and requires timely treatment.
5. Breast Tenderness
Increased estrogen and progesterone levels during ovulation can lead to breast tenderness.
6. Increased Vaginal Discharge
This is the most obvious symptom of ovulation. Many people experience a significant increase in vaginal discharge during ovulation, which becomes clear and viscous, resembling egg white. It can be stretched into strands without discomfort such as vaginal itching or odor.
