Glossary Ovulation Induction

medical treatment stimulating ovaries to release eggs

Ovulation Induction is a medical treatment designed to stimulate the ovaries to produce and release eggs, typically used in women who have irregular or absent ovulation. This process often involves the administration of medications such as clomiphene citrate or gonadotropins to encourage the development of one or more mature follicles, thereby increasing the chances of conception.
