Dealing with anovulation, which can negatively impact your fertility if not properly managed, is made easier with Road to Fertility’s help. We offer comprehensive holistic and functional treatments in Tampa that are aimed at diagnosing and addressing the root causes of this condition.
What is Anovulation?
The condition of anovulation arises when the ovaries do not release an egg each menstrual cycle, which renders natural conception impossible. This lack of ovulation results in the absence of hormones required to prepare the uterus for pregnancy, causing potential difficulties in becoming pregnant.
Anovulation often presents with irregular or absent menstrual periods, known as anovulatory cycles. You might also experience abnormal uterine bleeding, where the lack of ovulation results in erratic or heavy menstrual bleeding patterns.
Hormonal imbalances can lead to anovulation, particularly when the pituitary gland does not release the proper signals necessary for ovulation. Factors such as an unhealthy body mass index (BMI), whether too high or low, can disrupt hormonal levels and lead to conditions like polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) or reduced estrogen. Stress, excessive exercise, and certain medical conditions like thyroid issues or congenital adrenal hyperplasia can further interfere with your menstrual cycle, causing irregular or heavy bleeding.
Effective fertility restoration hinges on addressing the underlying causes of anovulation, as regular ovulation is crucial for the reproductive process.
Symptoms of Anovulation Include:
- Irregular or absent menstrual periods
- Unexplained infertility
