Does high luteinizing hormone lead to luteal phase defect?

Patient's question:

No

Doctor's answer:

This situation is considered to be related to polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS). Polycystic ovary syndrome is caused by dysfunction of the hypothalamic-pituitary-ovarian axis, disrupting the interdependent regulation between these components, leading to prolonged anovulation in the ovaries. The typical clinical manifestations of PCOS include menstrual disorders due to anovulation, such as amenorrhea, dysfunctional uterine bleeding, oligomenorrhea, or anovulatory cycles. It is often accompanied by hirsutism, obesity, infertility, bilateral ovarian enlargement, or unilateral ovarian enlargement, as well as changes in hormone levels.
There are two main treatment methods for PCOS: medication and surgery. Medication treatment is generally not very ideal. Our hospital's senior experts use advanced microscopic surgery technology in China to treat PCOS without surgery. This technique is non-invasive, has a quick recovery time, and a high success rate. We recommend that you come to the hospital for a thorough examination to identify the cause of infertility and receive targeted treatment. Do not miss the best age for pregnancy.
