Do you know the reason behind menstruation but no ovulation?

Many women experience this situation: their menstruation comes normally every month, but they do not ovulate and no signs of ovulation can be detected. Obviously, this situation is abnormal, and there are many reasons for this abnormal situation.

1. Reasons for menstruation without ovulation

1. Dysfunction of the hypothalamus-pituitary-ovarian axis. Causes anovulatory menstruation and amenorrhea. Mental factors such as mental stress or excessive anxiety, anger, sadness and other negative emotions can lead to brain dysfunction causing anovulation or abnormal ovulation, or anovulation caused by Sheehan's syndrome and hyperprolactinemia.

2. Systemic diseases such as severe malnutrition or lack of certain important nutritional factors in the diet can affect ovarian function and cause infertility. Chronic diseases and metabolic diseases such as hypothyroidism or hyperthyroidism, diabetes, adrenal dysfunction, etc. can also lead to infertility.

3. Medication: Taking certain medications, such as long-acting steroid injection contraceptives, disrupts the interaction between the brain and ovaries, suppresses ovulation and prevents pregnancy. There is some evidence that the longer this method of contraception is used, the greater the likelihood of developing amenorrhea.

4. Ovarian diseases: including congenital ovarian dysgenesis, polycystic ovary syndrome, premature ovarian failure, ovarian tumors, etc.

5. Follicular hypoplasia. Poor follicular development can lead to anovulation. Blockage of the fallopian tubes can also cause the egg to be released.

2. What are the symptoms of anovulation?

1. Development

Tall stature and underdeveloped secondary sexual characteristics may be signs of sexual dysfunction caused by the central nervous system. Increased body hair may be caused by excessive secretion of androgen by the ovaries or adrenal glands. Milk discharge from the nipple may be caused by too much prolactin in the blood.

2. Menstrual status

Menstrual disorders and amenorrhea are symptoms of anovulation.

3. Backache and lower abdominal pain

During ovulation, there will be mild symptoms such as back pain and lower abdominal pain, but these feelings do not necessarily mean that ovulation has occurred. Some gynecological diseases can also cause symptoms of back pain and abdominal pain.

3. What to do if you don’t ovulate or become infertile

What to do if you don’t ovulate?

1. Cooperate with the doctor to check and find out the reason for not ovulating. Go to the hospital for a detailed, comprehensive and standardized examination, and based on your own situation, find out the reason for not ovulating, whether it is endocrine disorder, ovarian function or something else.

2. Use ovulation-inducing drugs according to the doctor's instructions, or undergo ovulation-inducing treatment.

3. Clear the fallopian tubes. Perform tubal insufflation or angiography to understand the patency of the fallopian tubes and provide appropriate treatment.

4. Develop good living habits and regulate your endocrine system. Pay attention to adjusting your mood. Don't put too much pressure on yourself when preparing for pregnancy. Relax and stay happy. You can also see a Chinese medicine doctor and ask him to prescribe some conditioning medicine or recipes for you.

5. If it is caused by other diseases in the body, other diseases must be cured.
