Patient's question:
I have been married to my husband for several years. During this time, no matter how hard we tried, I was always unable to get pregnant. My menstrual cycle was not very regular; it was usually delayed by 3-5 days, and on the longest occasions, it was delayed by a week. Because we kept not getting pregnant, and we both really wanted a child, I first went to the hospital for a check-up myself. The results showed that it was indeed my problem. The doctor said that my follicles were not good—some didn’t grow properly and on their own, while others grew too large without rupturing. This is considered a case of ovulation disorder.Doctor's answer:
Hello, according to your description, the size of mature follicles is 18-25mm. If the follicles cannot mature or do not ovulate after maturation, it is considered ovulatory dysfunction. The factors that can cause ovulatory dysfunction include: central nervous system anovulation; hypothalamic anovulation; pituitary anovulation; ovarian anovulation; polycystic ovary syndrome; luteinized unruptured follicle syndrome; others: endocrine systems outside the gonads, such as thyroid and adrenal cortex dysfunction, as well as some systemic diseases like severe malnutrition, can affect the regulation of ovarian function and lead to ovulatory dysfunction. The treatment methods vary depending on the factors or causes. It is recommended that you go to the hospital for a detailed examination to identify the cause and receive symptomatic treatment.
