What is the reason why the follicle does not ovulate?

Anovulation makes many female friends who are preparing for pregnancy or planning to have a baby feel overwhelmed or even desperate. Anovulation is actually a disease that can be treated in most cases. Is it possible to get pregnant if the ovarian follicles do not ovulate? Clinically, there are many causes of ovulatory failure. So today, let me tell you what causes ovulatory failure.

What does it mean when there are follicles but no ovulation?

The follicle is composed of an oocyte and many small follicular cells around it in the ovarian cortex. The most common abnormalities clinically are follicular dysplasia and absence of follicular development. Ultrasound imaging provides an effective method for detecting follicular development and ovulation, and can diagnose abnormal follicular development and various ovulation disorders more clearly.

Whether the growth rate and extent of the follicles are normal or not determines whether they can discharge mature eggs. Only when the follicles are fully developed and function well can they release mature and healthy eggs. If the follicles do not develop well, ovulation will not occur normally or the quality of the eggs released will be poor. The absence of ovulation in follicles is mostly related to endocrine disorders, poor ovarian function, etc., and is a common infertility syndrome. Generally, the follicles in a woman's ovaries develop slowly. After countless screenings, one of the follicles develops into a mature follicle. After that, this mature follicle undergoes the process of ovulation and corpus luteum formation.

There are many reasons for anovulation of the ovaries, such as anovulation of the hypothalamus, pituitary gland, and ovaries, abnormal anovulation of the central nervous system, polycystic ovary syndrome, luteinized unruptured follicle syndrome, other endocrine systems, and some systemic diseases (such as severe malnutrition), all of which can affect normal ovarian ovulation and lead to infertility. Finding out the cause and treating it accordingly is the key.

Symptoms of ovulation failure

The symptom of anovulation is a disease medically known as luteinized unruptured follicle syndrome (LUFS). The symptoms of ovarian follicles without ovulation vary depending on the patient's physical condition. The treatment and conditioning methods for different patients are different. You may wish to understand them clearly before taking the right medication.

1. Deficiency of essence

A more obvious symptom of patients with asthenia and spermatorrhea is that they cannot conceive for a long time after marriage, and their skin color is dull and lifeless; they often experience symptoms such as soreness in the waist and knees, dizziness, tinnitus, scanty menstruation, and lack of sexual desire. If the patient is suffering from kidney yang deficiency, he or she may be accompanied by chills, cold limbs, cold pain in the lower abdomen during menstruation, and a thin white tongue coating. If the patient is suffering from kidney yin deficiency, he or she will be thin, often feel strange, irritable, dry mouth and tongue.

2. Qi stagnation and blood stasis type

Patients with Qi stagnation and blood stasis type are also unable to conceive for a long time after marriage, and are often depressed or irritable. Before menstruation, there will be bloating and pain in the ribs or stomach. During menstruation, the menstrual blood will be purple and black with clots, and the stomach will be bloated and painful.

3. Damp-heat stasis type

Patients with damp-heat and blood stasis type also suffer from infertility. They may be infertile for a long time after marriage. Before and during menstruation, they will experience pain and burning sensation in the lower abdomen; or they may also experience pain in the lower abdomen at other times, which will worsen during menstruation. The amount of leucorrhea is excessive and thick, and the urine is yellow.

In addition, there are symptoms of anovulation and no abnormalities in the menstrual cycle and menstrual volume, so this is often diagnosed by doctors as unexplained infertility. When the above symptoms appear, do not panic, maintain a happy mood, and actively cooperate with treatment. The chances of successfully conceiving a baby after recovery are still very high.

The reason why the follicles do not ovulate

1. One of the reasons why follicles do not ovulate is poor follicular development. The symptoms of follicular hypoplasia include: the follicles do not develop and are only at a very small level; the follicles develop but are immature, with a diameter often less than 18 mm; the follicles are not round, but are oval or even "date-shaped", and have no fertilization ability; the follicles are mature, but do not rupture and cannot ovulate.

2. Another reason why follicles do not ovulate is due to the lack of certain hormones. In addition, the lack and damage of female ovaries, or ovarian diseases can cause women to not ovulate.

3. The fallopian tube is blocked, resulting in the inability to discharge eggs. Or the follicle may be affected by adverse factors during its growth process, causing it to suddenly stop developing and become unable to release eggs.

4. Some ovarian diseases, such as polycystic ovary syndrome, can affect the normal ovulation of women's ovaries, cause ovulation disorders, and make patients infertile.

5. A woman's ovarian follicles can develop and mature smoothly, but they cannot rupture naturally or be discharged naturally, or empty follicles appear after the egg is discharged.

Luteinized unruptured follicle syndrome is caused by some endocrine system and systemic diseases, which affect the normal ovulation of the ovaries. Therefore, for patients, timely detection of the cause and symptomatic treatment are the key to treatment. If the disease is not treated in time, it is likely to affect conception.
