If you’re dealing with anovulation, a condition that can significantly affect your ability to conceive if untreated, Road to Fertility is here to help. Our expert team in Brooklyn offers holistic and functional approaches designed to identify and treat the root causes of anovulation.
What is Anovulation?
When anovulation occurs, it means the ovaries are not releasing an egg during the menstrual cycle, which makes conceiving a challenge. This absence of ovulation means that essential hormones needed to ready the uterus for pregnancy are not produced, complicating the process of getting pregnant naturally.
Experiencing anovulation can lead to irregular or missing periods, referred to as anovulatory cycles. In some situations, this condition may also cause abnormal uterine bleeding, where the absence of ovulation leads to irregular or heavy menstrual flows.
Hormonal imbalances can cause anovulation when the pituitary gland does not release the proper signals needed for ovulation. An unhealthy body mass index (BMI), whether too high or too low, can interfere with hormonal balance, contributing to conditions like polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) or low estrogen levels. Furthermore, factors such as chronic stress, excessive exercise, and medical conditions like thyroid dysfunction or congenital adrenal hyperplasia can disrupt your menstrual cycle, leading to irregular or heavy bleeding patterns.
Given that regular ovulation plays a key role in reproduction, tackling the underlying issues of anovulation is essential for restoring fertility.
