Ovulation disorders in women, including not ovulating regularly and not ovulating at all, account for about 1 in 4 infertile couples. Problems with the reproductive hormones produced by the hypothalamus or pituitary gland, or problems with the ovaries, can cause ovulation disorders. Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS): Polycystic ovary syndrome causes a hormonal imbalance that affects ovulation. Polycystic ovary syndrome is linked with insulin resistance and obesity, abnormally strong hair growth, body hair, and acne. Polycystic ovary syndrome is the most common cause of female infertility.

Physical fatigue, psychological stress, too high or low body weight, sudden weight gain or weight loss can affect the production of these hormones and thereby affect the metabolism. Ovulation. Irregular menstrual cycles or amenorrhea or amenorrhea are the most common symptoms. Premature ovarian failure (also called primary ovarian insufficiency): This disorder is often caused by an autoimmune response or by the degeneration of immature eggs in the ovaries. eggs (possibly genetic or chemotherapy). Eggs no longer mature and are released as usual, and the levels of the hormone estrogen secreted by the ovaries are lower in women under the age of 40. Too much prolactin: The pituitary gland can cause an overproduction of prolactin, leading to a decrease in estrogen production and infertility. In addition to the pituitary gland, excessive prolactin can also be caused by the medication the patient is taking.
