What is ovulation disorder?

Ovulatory disorders, also known as anovulation, are one of the main causes of female infertility. Most patients with ovulatory disorders have menstrual disorders, manifested by long menstrual cycles, infrequent menstruation or even amenorrhea, as well as symptoms such as hirsutism, obesity, facial acne or small boils on the back. It is worth noting that due to long-term anovulation, sex hormone disorders, and the body being stimulated by a single estrogen, there is a risk of endometrial cancer and breast cancer.

There are many causes of ovulation disorders, the most common of which are polycystic ovary syndrome, premature ovarian failure and pituitary diseases. Normal ovulation depends on the regulation of the hypothalamus-pituitary-ovarian axis (HPO axis). Mental stress, excessive exercise, excessive dieting, metabolic disorders, etc. can all affect the neuroendocrine system and thus affect ovulation.

Symptoms of ovulatory disorders

The symptoms of ovulatory disorders mainly include anovulatory dysfunctional uterine bleeding, menstrual disorders and amenorrhea, abnormal secondary sexual characteristics, and infertility. Symptoms of ovulation disorders include:

1. Anovulatory functional uterine bleeding

That is, completely irregular uterine bleeding, which is one of the common symptoms of ovulation disorders and is more common in adolescent women. People with anovulatory functional uterine bleeding have irregular menstruation, sometimes amenorrhea, sometimes continuous bleeding, or heavy bleeding like metrorrhagia, sometimes light bleeding like leakage, alternating between metrorrhagia and leakage.

2. Menstrual disorders and amenorrhea

Ovulatory disorders can also affect normal menstruation. If a woman has not had her first menstruation by age 18, she has primary amenorrhea. If menstruation has occurred but has stopped for more than half a year, it is called secondary amenorrhea.

3. Abnormal secondary sexual characteristics

(1) Tall stature and poor development of secondary sexual characteristics are mainly due to abnormalities in the central nervous system, which in turn leads to abnormal sexual function, resulting in increased body hair and increased adrenal secretion of androgens.

(2) Physical examination generally shows no special signs. A few patients may have hirsutism, which may indicate polycystic ovary syndrome, but it cannot be diagnosed.

(3) Pelvic examination findings are within normal range, with occasional unilateral or bilateral ovarian cystic enlargement.

4. Infertility

Ovulatory disorders may lead to infertility in women. Infertility refers to the failure to become pregnant after 12 months of normal sexual life without taking any contraceptive measures. Ovulation disorders or infrequent ovulation account for about 40% of female infertility factors.
