What is ovulation?
Ovulation is a natural process that occurs when a mature egg is released from the ovary during a woman's menstrual cycle. The egg remains in the fallopian tube for about 12-24 hours, waiting to be fertilized by sperm. If fertilization is not complete, the egg will burst and fall off in the next pregnancy.
Hormonal control: Hormones such as follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) and luteinizing hormone (LH) control the timing and release of the egg.
Why it’s important: Ovulation is essential for natural conception because it provides the egg needed for fertilization.
If you have trouble tracking your ovulation or your periods are irregular, Dr. Roshi Satija is the best doctor who can help you track and improve ovulation for a successful pregnancy.
How does ovulation happen?
Ovulation involves various hormonal changes in the body that prepare for birth. It is divided into three main phases:
Follicular phase:
- Start on the first day of your period.
- FSH stimulates the ovaries to produce follicles. A mature follicle develops into an egg.
Ovulation time:
- In the middle of your menstrual cycle, a surge in luteinizing hormone (LH) levels causes the follicle to release a mature egg.
- This is when you are most fertile.
Luteal phase:
- After ovulation, the ruptured follicle produces a corpus luteum, which secretes progesterone and prepares the uterus for pregnancy.
- If fertilization does not occur, the hormones decrease, causing the next pregnancy.
For women with ovulation problems, Dr. Roshi Satija is the best healer who provides education and solutions.
What are ovulation problems?
Delayed ovulation can cause a number of problems, including:
Infertility: Without ovulation, there is no egg available for fertilization.
Irregular periods: Women may have short, long or no periods at all. Hormonal imbalance: It can cause symptoms like weight gain, excessive hair growth (hirsutism), or acne.
Pregnancy problems: Even if pregnancy occurs, problems with ovulation can increase the risk of miscarriage.
For women struggling with these issues, Dr. Roshi Satija is the best doctor to provide compassion and care near you.
Ovulation test for ovulation disorders
Diagnosing ovulation disorders involves a variety of tests to help you understand:
Hormone test: Blood tests check levels of LH, FSH, estrogen, and progesterone to confirm that ovulation has occurred.
Ultrasound monitoring: Transvaginal ultrasound tracks follicle development and confirms ovulation.
Basal Body Temperature (BBT): Record your daily body temperature to see your ovulation patterns.
Ovulation Predictor Kit (OPK): A home urine test that detects the LH surge that precedes ovulation. Proper testing can indicate specific ovulation issues.
Dr. Roshi Satija is the best doctor around and performs quality and accurate testing.
Other types of ovulation
There are specific ovulation disorders that can affect fertility:
Luteal Phase Defect (LPD):
Insufficient progesterone production after ovulation leads to implantation failure.
Primary ovarian insufficiency (POI):
The ovaries stop working properly before the age of 40, causing ovulation to become irregular or absent.
Hypothalamic amenorrhea:
Stress, weight gain or intense physical activity can disrupt the signals from the brain to the ovaries. Each disorder has its own treatment method.
Dr. Roshi Satija is the best doctor who can diagnose and treat all types of ovulation disorders using advanced medical technology.
How does the FIGO Ovulation Disorder System work?
The FIGO (International Federation of Gynecology and Obstetrics) classification system divides ovulation disorders into three groups:
Group 1: Diseases caused by hypothalamic-pituitary dysfunction, such as severe anxiety or weight gain.
Group 2: Hypothalamic-pituitary-ovarian axis dysfunction, often seen in polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS).
Group 3: Ovarian failure, such as primary ovarian insufficiency.
These systems help doctors identify and find the root cause of ovulation pain. Dr. Roshi Satija is the best doctor around and uses techniques to provide accurate diagnosis and effective treatment.
What causes ovulation problems?
There are many things that can cause ovulation problems:
Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS): Mostly caused by hormonal imbalance and irregular menstrual cycle.
Thyroid diseases: Both hyperthyroidism and hypothyroidism can affect ovulation. Stress or lifestyle: High stress levels, poor diet or excessive exercise can affect ovulation.
Prolactin deficiency: High prolactin levels can affect ovulation.
Ovarian Failure (OFA): Early menopause causes decreased ovarian function.
The important thing is to find the cause. Dr. Roshi Satija is the best therapist who can identify the cause of the problem and provide personalized treatment plans.
Symptoms of ovulation problems
