Patient's question:
Can women get pregnant without ovulating? I haven't noticed any egg white-like discharge every month, does it mean I'm not ovulating? I've been trying to get pregnant for four months and haven't conceived yet. My period has been delayed every month.Doctor's answer:
Hello, not ovulating cannot lead to conception. 1. Hypothalamic disorders: Divided into functional and organic categories. Functional include idiopathic hypothalamic amenorrhea, psychogenic amenorrhea, hyperprolactinemia, and anorexia nervosa; the latter include intracranial tumors, post-encephalitis, and post-head trauma. 2. Pituitary dysfunction: Pituitary adenoma, Sheehan syndrome, tuberculosis or syphilitic granuloma. 3. Ovarian dysfunction: Includes primary ovarian amenorrhea and secondary ovarian amenorrhea. Functional include Turner syndrome. Organic include premature ovarian failure, organic damage to the ovaries. If function is lost after radiation exposure, destruction caused by tumors or inflammation.
