Will delayed menstruation affect ovulation?

Some women may have this question: will delayed menstruation affect ovulation? There is still some controversy about this issue. In fact, experts have said that delayed menstruation does not directly affect ovulation, but it does have a certain impact on pregnancy. The following will give a detailed answer to your question. If you experience menstrual irregularities, you must pay attention to your lifestyle habits and seek timely treatment.

Irregular menstruation may cause anovulation, which means that irregular menstruation does not necessarily mean no ovulation. Ovulation will occur if menstruation is normal. Does irregular menstruation affect ovulation? Causes of anovulation:

1. Pituitary dysfunction: pituitary adenoma, Sheehan syndrome, tuberculosis or syphilitic granuloma.

2. Hypothalamic disorders: divided into functional and organic categories. The former includes idiopathic diencephalic amenorrhea, psychogenic amenorrhea, functional hyperprolactinemia, and anorexia nervosa; the latter includes diencephalic tumors, post-encephalitis, and post-head trauma.

3. Ovarian dysfunction: including primary ovarian amenorrhea and secondary amenorrhea. The former includes Turner syndrome, etc. The latter includes premature ovarian failure, organic damage to the ovaries, such as loss of function after radiation exposure, and destruction caused by tumors and inflammation.

Commonly used examination methods for irregular menstruation are as follows:

1. Comprehensive physical examination to find out whether there are serious systemic diseases.

2. Pelvic examination to initially understand whether there are any deformities, tumors or inflammation in the reproductive organs.

3. Ask about the medical history in detail to find out the possible causes of irregular menstruation. The patient should strive to provide accurate information.

4. Auxiliary examinations: 1) Endocrine measurement: Currently, pituitary gonadotropin, prolactin, and hormones secreted by the ovaries, thyroid gland, and adrenal cortex can be measured. Simple methods commonly used in clinical practice to understand ovarian function include vaginal smear, cervical mucus, basal body temperature and endometrial biopsy. 2) X-ray examination and iodized oil contrast examination can help understand the condition of the uterine cavity and whether there are submucosal myomas or polyps. Anteroposterior and lateral sections of the sella turcica can be used to determine whether there is a pituitary tumor. 3) Hysteroscopy or laparoscopy: observe the lesions of the uterine cavity and pelvic organs. 4) Perform liver, kidney function and blood system examinations as appropriate. Chromosome examination should be performed when necessary.

If your menstruation is delayed, it may be due to menstrual irregularities caused by physical reasons. At this time, you should pay attention to not eating cold or cool things, not eating spicy foods, and eating light and nutritious food before your period. Only by paying attention to your physical problems at all times can you recover as soon as possible.
