Women who have menstruation may not necessarily have this ability

Menstruation and ovulation are closely related. The normality of menstruation determines the date of ovulation. If there is no ovulation, there will be no menstruation; to be precise, without ovulation, there will be no ovulatory menstruation, and successful pregnancy will not be possible.

1. Menstruation does not necessarily mean ovulation

For Ms. Xu, who is already 30 years old, her journey to prepare for pregnancy is particularly difficult. Two days ago, the test results of the couple who had been trying to get pregnant for three years finally came out. The reason was Ms. Xu's anovulatory menstruation. Ms. Xu was stunned at the time. She had always thought that her menstruation was normal, but she didn't know that normal menstruation does not necessarily mean ovulation. Without ovulation, conception is naturally impossible.

The relationship between menstruation and ovulation: no ovulation, no menstruation

Menstruation and ovulation are closely related. Simply put, ovulation determines menstruation. Without ovulation, there will be no menstruation; to be more precise, without ovulation, there will be no ovulatory menstruation and no fertility. Therefore, to determine whether menstruation is normal, we should first determine whether ovulation has occurred. Menstruation with ovulation is normal.

Under normal circumstances, the menstrual cycle is controlled by the cerebral cortex and regulated by the interaction between the hypothalamus, pituitary gland and ovaries, and is also affected by other endocrine hormones such as thyroid hormone. Therefore, generally women secrete estrogen before ovulation, and progesterone and estrogen after ovulation.

It is under the action of these two hormones that the female endometrium undergoes changes between the proliferative phase and the secretory phase. Once the hormone level drops, the endometrium loses hormonal support and becomes necrotic and shed, and menstruation occurs. This is normal ovulatory menstruation. In anovulatory menstruation, the ovaries only secrete estrogen and not progesterone, so the endometrium only undergoes proliferative changes. When estrogen drops to a certain level, the endometrium is shed and women begin menstruating.

Women's menstrual cycle is affected by many factors, but the following situations are the most common.

1. Uncontrolled weight loss

Nowadays, in an era where thinness is considered beautiful, many women born in the 1980s and 1990s tend to eat less or no dinner in order to wear beautiful clothes and maintain a slim figure. They also use fruits as nutritional supplements for lunch and breakfast. These behaviors are irresponsible to women themselves. Lack of nutrition also plays a key role in changes in women's menstrual cycle.

2. Excessive mood swings

Some women are overly sensitive in their emotional world, and often experience excessive tension, sadness, joy, etc. over trivial matters. These abnormal fluctuations will inevitably interfere with the normal work of the central nervous system, thereby affecting the regulation of ovarian function that determines menstrual changes and causing menstrual disorders.

3. A life of day and night reversal

Some women have a reversed day and night life due to work, irregular daily routine, getting up early and going to bed late, etc., which can disrupt their menstrual cycle.

4. The body is ill and has not been cured

After all, the body is not a machine, and occasional minor illnesses still need to be treated with medication. However, some young women like to be stubborn and think that they can just hold on and it will pass. However, for example, local inflammation of the reproductive organs, intracranial diseases, other endocrine dysfunctions such as thyroid and adrenal cortex dysfunction, liver diseases, etc. may cause irregular menstruation in women.

3. Causes of Anovulation in Women

Regular ovarian ovulation is a necessary condition for fertility. Anovulation is mostly caused by pathological disorders in any link of the hypothalamus-pituitary-ovarian axis, but it may also be affected by other endocrine gland disease factors in the body. Therefore, if a woman has symptoms of anovulation, please remember to find out the factors that cause anovulation.

1. Causes of anovulation symptoms

In general, the causes of anovulation in women include:

1) Ovarian diseases, including congenital ovarian dysgenesis, polycystic ovary syndrome, premature ovarian failure, ovarian tumors, etc.

2) Dysfunction of the hypothalamus-pituitary-ovarian axis causes anovulatory menstruation and amenorrhea. Women's emotions are in a state of tension, anxiety, anger, sadness and other negative emotions for a long time, which may lead to brain dysfunction causing anovulation or abnormal ovulation, or anovulation due to Sheehan's syndrome and hyperprolactinemia.

3) Other systemic diseases, such as severe malnutrition, hyperthyroidism, etc. can cause anovulation.

2. Normal ovulatory menstruation and successful pregnancy

After the above analysis, we probably understand the relationship between menstruation and ovulation. In general, menstruation and ovulation are closely related. Ovulation determines menstruation. If there is no ovulation, there will be no menstruation. To be more precise, without ovulation, there will be no ovulatory menstruation, and successful pregnancy will not be possible.

Therefore, to determine whether a woman is infertile, we should first determine whether she has ovulated. Only menstruation with ovulation is normal, and only then can she successfully conceive a baby!
