For women of both age groups, there are many changes happening in the body, such as sudden changes in hormone levels, that can trigger an anovulatory cycle. For girls, at the age of puberty, because the hypothalamus in the brain does not yet secrete enough gonadotropin-releasing hormone, the pituitary gland does not secrete enough of the follicle-stimulating hormone, causing the follicle to not mature, not to be full. enough luteinizing hormone to prevent the follicle from being released. In premenopausal women, over time, the ovaries are no longer sensitive enough to respond to pituitary hormone preferences, leading to immature follicles and failure to ovulate. Or in the pre-menopausal age, there are some diseases of the reproductive system such as polycystic ovary.
