Anovulation, a frequent issue that can hinder your chances of conception if not properly managed, is effectively addressed at Road to Fertility. We provide specialized holistic and functional care in Boca Raton that are aimed at uncovering and treating the underlying causes of this condition to enhance your fertility.
What is Anovulation?
Anovulation is a condition where the ovaries fail to release an egg during the menstrual cycle, which can prevent conception. Without this crucial release, the body doesn’t produce the hormones needed to prepare the uterus for pregnancy, resulting in difficulties with natural conception.
If you’re experiencing anovulation, you may observe irregular or even absent periods, termed anovulatory cycles. Additionally, some individuals may encounter abnormal uterine bleeding, where the lack of ovulation results in unpredictable or excessively heavy menstrual bleeding.
Anovulation can occur as a result of hormonal imbalances, where the pituitary gland fails to release the necessary signals for ovulation. Factors such as an unhealthy body mass index (BMI), whether excessively high or low, can disturb hormone levels, potentially leading to conditions like polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) or insufficient estrogen. Additionally, stress, excessive physical exercise, and underlying medical issues such as thyroid disorders or congenital adrenal hyperplasia can further disrupt your menstrual cycle, sometimes resulting in irregular or heavy bleeding.
Regular ovulation is crucial for successful reproduction, so it’s vital to address the root causes of anovulation to restore fertility effectively.
