What are the reasons for low ovulation?

Infrequent ovulation usually seriously affects a woman's ability to conceive, which may lead to diseases such as infertility, bringing a great psychological burden to herself and the entire family. However, it is easy to cure once the cause is found. So what causes this phenomenon? It usually involves multiple aspects. Let’s take a deeper look with the editor.

1. Pituitary dysfunction. This is one of the common causes of anovulation, mainly due to women suffering from hyperprolactinemia, pituitary lactoma, Sheehan syndrome, tuberculosis or syphilitic granuloma, etc.

2. Ovarian dysfunction. A common disease is premature ovarian failure, in which patients will gradually develop amenorrhea from infrequent menstruation, and finally have few or even no ovulation.

3. Hypothalamic dysfunction. It is divided into two categories: functional and organic. The former includes idiopathic diencephalic amenorrhea, psychogenic amenorrhea, functional hyperprolactinemia, and anorexia nervosa; the latter includes diencephalic tumors, post-encephalitis, and post-head trauma. This factor can induce anovulation because the signal input to the hypothalamus is abnormal, which reduces the release of gonadotropin, thus causing anovulation.

4. Polycystic ovary syndrome. It includes 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. If polycystic ovary occurs, the common symptom is anovulation, which can also cause menstrual disorders, hirsutism, and acne in women. So this is also one of the diseases that cause anovulation.

The above article describes the factors that induce oligoovulation in great detail. If a similar situation occurs, you must undergo relevant gynecological examinations and receive targeted treatment in a timely manner. At the same time, the editor would like to remind female friends to pay attention to taking good care of their own bodies, especially to pay attention to regulating their menstruation.
