GlossaryAnovulation (Ovulatory Dysfunction)

ovaries fail to release an egg during the menstrual cycle

Anovulation is a condition where the ovaries do not release an egg during the menstrual cycle, which can lead to irregular or absent periods and is a common cause of infertility. For professionals, it is often associated with hormonal imbalances, polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), or other underlying health issues that disrupt the normal ovulatory process.
