GlossaryOligo-anovulation

infrequent or irregular ovulation often linked to hormonal imbalances

Oligo-anovulation refers to infrequent or irregular ovulation, where a woman does not ovulate (release an egg) regularly. This condition can lead to irregular menstrual cycles and is often associated with hormonal imbalances, such as those seen in polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS). It can be a significant factor in infertility and may require medical evaluation and treatment.
