Anovulation is a prevalent condition that can hinder fertility without proper treatment. At Road to Fertility, we provide expert holistic care to identify and treat the underlying cause of anovulation
What is Anovulation?
Anovulation is a condition where the ovaries do not release an egg, preventing conception. Without ovulation, the body doesn’t produce the hormones necessary to prepare the uterus for pregnancy, making it more challenging to conceive naturally.
People with anovulation may notice irregular or missed periods, which are called anovulatory cycles. In some cases, it can also lead to abnormal uterine bleeding, causing unpredictable or heavy menstrual bleeding because ovulation doesn’t occur.
Anovulation can result from hormonal imbalances, where the pituitary gland doesn’t release the necessary signals for ovulation. An unhealthy BMI, whether too high or too low, can affect hormone levels, leading to issues such as PCOS or low estrogen. Stress, overexertion, and medical conditions such as thyroid disorders or congenital adrenal hyperplasia can alter your menstrual cycle, sometimes leading to irregular or heavy menstrual bleeding.
Since ovulation is crucial to the reproductive process, addressing the causes of anovulation is necessary to restore fertility.
Symptoms of Anovulation Include:
- Irregular or missed cycles
