What to do if ovulation is late

The ovulation period is affected by many factors. The biggest influence is the menstrual period. If a woman has a regular menstrual period, the ovulation period can be calculated accurately. However, if a woman has an irregular menstrual cycle, the ovulation period cannot be predicted. With the development of medical technology, many women will go to medical institutions to check their ovulation period and start observing the development of eggs on the seventh day after menstruation. What should you do if ovulation is late? Let’s find out.

1. What should women do if they do not ovulate?

Women of normal childbearing age ovulate once a month, usually about two weeks before the next menstrual period. The main organs that control ovulation are the hypothalamus, pituitary gland, and ovarian axis. The reasons for female anovulation include pituitary anovulation, hypothalamic anovulation, central nervous system anovulation, brain lesions, immune or mental factors. As long as women with anovulation receive reasonable treatment, the chances of normal ovulation and pregnancy are very high. However, the cause of the disease must be identified first, and then a diagnosis and treatment plan can be developed based on the specific situation.

Ovulation induction therapy. There are many types of ovulation-inducing drugs, which produce their effects through different mechanisms. Experts remind: Most commonly used ovulation-stimulating drugs contain hormones. These drugs should be used with caution and under the guidance of a doctor. If used improperly, it will not only fail to achieve the therapeutic effect, but may also sometimes lead to multiple pregnancies, miscarriages and other diseases.

B-ultrasound monitoring of ovulation. After taking ovulation-inducing drugs or during the natural cycle, it is best to use B-ultrasound to detect ovulation. That is, starting from the 8th to 10th day of the menstrual cycle, observe the appearance and development of the dominant follicle until ovulation. If the follicle is less than 17 mm in diameter, pregnancy is unlikely. At the same time, ultrasound monitoring can also clearly observe the thickness and morphology of the endometrium, which plays a certain role in predicting pregnancy.

Treatment of ovulatory disorders can enhance corpus luteum function. Some women are unable to get pregnant due to luteal insufficiency, and some patients need to strengthen luteal function after ovulation induction treatment. The treatment principle of luteal insufficiency is to nourish kidney yin, stop bleeding and regulate menstruation for kidney yin deficiency; to treat kidney yang deficiency, strengthen kidney yang, regulate Chong and Ren meridians; to relieve liver heat, clear heat and regulate menstruation for liver meridian stagnation.
