The concept and mechanisms of ovulation
menstrual cycle consists of two phases. They are differentiated ovulation. The first of these is called the follicular phase. Its beginning is marked at the time of occurrence of menstruation. This is accompanied by the growth of follicles in the ovaries. They mature egg.
A few days after the critical days of the completion of the dominant follicle is released.
Its development continues until ovulation.Approximately one day prior to the beginning of the period says intensive production of the hormone LH. With increasing concentration follicle ruptures. From it leaves the egg. Fertilized egg passes through the fallopian tubes to meet sperm. In the body there is a serious preparation for conception.
ovulation is accompanied by changes:
- mammary glands become more sensitive;
- increases the number of allocated cervical fluid;
- increased libido.
After this period comes luteal phase. It is characterized by the active development of progesterone. Increasing the concentration of this hormone is due to the formation of the corpus luteum. If fertilization has not occurred, the progesterone level is gradually reduced and menstruation begins.
Sometimes the rupture of the follicle and exits from the egg is not observed. This phenomenon is called anovulation. As a rule, it is considered a sign of infertility.
Are there periods without ovulation
As a general rule, if there is no ovulation, menstruation go stop. Sometimes meager allocation may occur. In this case, the critical days do not last more than two days. However, this is not always the case. Sometimes women are marked regular periods and ovulation does not. The problem with this is detected after multiple unsuccessful attempts during conception due diligence.
Normally, women do not ovulate 1-2 times during the year. Anovulatory cycle is not cause fear.
Causes menstruation without ovulation
If there was no ovulation, menses may still occur. It is not always at the same time there is reason for concern. Often such changes are caused by natural causes:
- the first critical days in teenage girls;
- abrupt change of climatic conditions;
- fast approaching menopause;
- lactation.
Also identifies a number of pathological reasons:
- disturbances in ovarian activity;
- malfunction of the endocrine system;
- inflammation of the reproductive organs.
Lack of ovulation provoked intense exercise, psycho-emotional strain. Anovulation also occur if the strict diet, improper organization of the diet.
Could happen Conception
Even if the month is, in the absence of ovulation, fertilization successful attempts will be in vain. The egg is simply not mature. Accordingly, there is no chance of conceiving. Planning a pregnancy is possible only after the therapy and normalization cycle. In addition, a woman needs to normalize body weight, maintain a healthy lifestyle, avoid stress. Thanks to this treatment will be fast and efficient.
How to determine the absence of ovulation, if you are a regular monthly
Determine anovulation succeed on several grounds:
- For ovulatory process characterized by the appearance of transparent viscous secretion. Accordingly, its absence indicates that the release of the ovum from the follicle has not happened.
- Also on anovulatory cycle indicates the character and appearance of menses. The pathological changes observed in the excessively long or short critical days. As a rule, it is noted scanty brownish spotting.
- Furthermore, in order to determine the presence or absence of ovulation it is recommended to measure basal temperature daily. On the basis of these figures make the schedule. It will definitely be visible starting date of the ovulatory period, or lack thereof. Typically, when the follicle rupture temperature rises to 37 ° C.
Can also be used the following methods:
- ultrasound;
- special tests;
- study of cervical fluid.
Solely on circumstantial evidence to identify problematic anovulation. The emergence of pain in the lower abdomen in the middle of the cycle may indicate is not only the output of the ovum. Often the pain signals the development of reproductive organs.
Occurrence secretion, similar to egg white, due to the high concentration of oestrogens. However, separation is not always indicate the ovulatory process. Follicle can grow, but do not break. Similar problems occur in the development of polycystic ovary syndrome.
The most reliable method of diagnosis is considered a pelvic ultrasound.
When to see a doctor
If anovulation is observed more than three months, menses become irregular, scanty, we must immediately go to the doctor. Gynecologist accurately identify the causes of violations and choose the right tactics treatment.
As a general rule, recourse to the appointment of progestogens. For example, djufaston or utrozhestan. Through the use of these drugs is possible to normalize the cycle.
The reason for the medical facility must also become unsuccessful attempts fertilization. In this case, diagnosed anovulatory infertility. To eliminate it conducts comprehensive therapy.
To self-medicate in this case it is strictly prohibited. Any actions need to be taken only after consultation with your doctor therapy.
On anovulatory cycle is not always indicated by the absence of critical days. Sometimes menstruation keep going even if that egg is not out of the follicle. In such a situation in a timely manner to identify the problem turns out to be very problematic. Therefore, you should closely monitor any changes occurring in the body and undergo regular scheduled scan on a gynecological chair. Because of this will be possible to avoid serious complications.
