Why not ovulate?

For women, if they do not ovulate, it means infertility. There are many factors in life that cause women to not ovulate. For example, excessive weight loss, taking medication, etc. Of course, as women age, many of them will experience premature ovarian failure, leading to anovulation. Let’s take a closer look at the six major factors that cause women not to ovulate.

What are the reasons why women do not ovulate?

1. Premature ovarian failure

Premature ovarian failure is a very dangerous condition for women who want to get pregnant and have children, because women with premature ovarian failure have completely consumed their follicles and can no longer produce new follicles, thus unable to form new mature eggs. Without the release of eggs, pregnancy is impossible.

2. Ovarian dysfunction

Ovarian dysfunction is also one of the causes of anovulation, including Turner syndrome, organic damage to the ovaries, secondary amenorrhea, etc. Note that tumors, inflammation treatment or radiation exposure may cause organic damage to the ovaries!

3. Polycystic ovary syndrome

Polycystic ovary syndrome is a disease of abnormal ovulation. Women with this disease have enlarged ovaries, but the follicles fail to mature, so they cannot release mature eggs normally. They need to rely on the effects of drugs to stimulate development and ovulation.

4. Pituitary Dysfunction

If your pituitary gland is dysfunctional, it will directly affect the smoothness of ovulation. For example, pituitary dysfunction such as pituitary adenoma, Sheehan syndrome, tuberculosis or syphilitic granuloma may become the "invisible killer" of your inability to ovulate.

5. Luteal insufficiency

The corpus luteum in your body is transformed from the follicle into a mature egg. If the corpus luteum is dysfunctional, it means that there is a problem with the development of the follicle. Insufficient number of follicles will naturally affect the normal discharge of the egg.
