For women planning to conceive, having sexual intercourse during ovulation can increase the success rate of conception. However, some women may find that they cannot ovulate through prenatal check ups. If the woman does not ovulate, the egg and sperm cannot meet and form a fertilized egg, resulting in infertility. Generally speaking, ovulation is closely related to the menstrual cycle. Will menstruation occur if ovulation is not present?
Women without ovulation can also experience menstruation, medically known as' anovulatory menstruation '. This is different from normal menstruation and belongs to the category of 'functional uterine bleeding'. The characteristics of this menstrual cycle are irregular timing and varying blood volume, sometimes a lot and sometimes very little. Regular bleeding and cessation of bleeding, similar to menstruation, are rare.
This is because the cause of bleeding is different from normal menstruation. It is not due to the simultaneous decrease of estrogen and progesterone, which causes a part of the endometrium to fall off and bleed, but only due to the action of estrogen. When estrogen levels fluctuate, a part of the endometrium falls off and bleeds.
Not ovulating itself is a symptom and one of the symptoms of infertility. Generally speaking, anovulation does not have specific symptoms or signs. Although there are no obvious symptoms of anovulation, anovulation caused by different reasons can manifest as similar accompanying symptoms. Some accompanying symptoms and signs of anovulation are usually only discovered during a doctor's examination and consultation.
Most patients who do not ovulate may experience symptoms such as infrequent or reduced menstrual periods, amenorrhea or absence of menstruation, irregular menstrual cycles, severe weight loss, obesity, endocrine disorders, lower back pain, increased vaginal discharge, abnormal or excessive hair growth on the body and face.
At present, ovulation can be indirectly inferred by measuring basal body temperature, examining cervical mucus, endometrial biopsy, and hormone testing. It is necessary to rely on a series of endocrine function tests, X-ray imaging, chromosome analysis, and laparoscopic examination to roughly determine the cause of ovulation disorders.
The above is an introduction to whether menstruation will occur without ovulation. In fact, if a woman's ovary does not ovulate for a long time, there will be estrogen metabolism disorder, endometrial hyperplasia without the antagonism of cyclical estrogen, which will lead to endometrial cancer or breast cancer. Therefore, if a female friend has the above symptoms, we must pay attention to them and go to the hospital in time for treatment.
