Patient's question:
A friend of mine has been married for 3 years, but they have never been able to conceive a child. Later, when both husband and wife went to the hospital for check-ups, it was said that one side of the woman's ovary was not ovulating. So, I would like to ask, what are the factors or causes that can lead to one ovary not ovulating?Doctor's answer:
Hello! The normal size of a mature follicle is 18-25mm. If it is below or above this standard, it cannot ovulate normally. The factors that cause ovulation disorders 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 ovulation disorders. If one fallopian tube is affected, it may also lead to bilateral fallopian tube disease over time or affect fallopian tube function, inhibiting ovulation. Therefore, even if one side is patent, symptomatic treatment is still necessary. It is recommended to go to a regular infertility hospital for examination and follow the doctor's advice for scientific treatment. Wish you health and early pregnancy!
