Patient's question:
Female, 31 years old, checked for ovulation disorder.Doctor's answer:
Hello! There are many causes of ovulation disorders, among which the most common ones include:1. Premature ovarian failure: Menopause occurs before the age of 40. Patients with this condition have lost their fertility and can only conceive through IVF using someone else's eggs.
2. Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS): Symptoms include hirsutism, obesity, menstrual disorders or amenorrhea, infertility, and acanthosis nigricans. Treatment methods mainly include drug-induced ovulation and surgical treatment (e.g., bilateral ovarian drilling under laparoscopy, ovarian wedge resection).
3. Hyperprolactinemia and prolactinomas: The choice between medical and surgical treatment depends on the size of the prolactinoma and whether the elevated prolactin levels are caused by the prolactinoma.
