Anovulatory cycle is such a process, withwhich in the menstrual cycle there is no phase of release of the egg from the follicle, or ovulation. It is worth noting that quite often the anovulatory cycle is a completely natural process during puberty, as well as during breastfeeding and during climax. Quite rarely, this phenomenon is diagnosed among quite healthy women who are able to give birth to a child. In this case, the anovulatory cycle causes infertility. In most cases, this disorder is treatable.
Anovulatory cycle: causes.
As already mentioned, the anovulatory cycle may develop during pronounced hormone disturbances, such as during puberty, activation, or during climax.
In addition, quite often the cause of suchthe phenomenon becomes a violation of the activity of the endocrine glands, in particular when the connections between the ovaries and the hypothalamic-pituitary system are broken. In some cases, the anovulatory cycle develops with marked infantilism of the female genitals or as a result of severe inflammation of the reproductive system.
Anovulatory cycle: signs and course of the disease.
In most cases, such a non-characteristic cycle has no external signs, since menstruation occurs on time.
There are two forms of development of such a violation.In the first case, the follicle matures to the final stage, but, in contrast to the norm, the follicle does not break and the egg does not exit; the reverse development begins. In this case, uterine bleeding, pain, or other symptoms are not observed.
In the second case, after full maturation of the follicle, it is reborn into a cyst, which subsequently begins to actively grow and grow in size.
In addition, this cycle does not occur andcharacteristic changes in the uterus. The mucous membrane begins to actively grow and grow in size, while the vascular system does not have time to develop fully. Along with this, with such active development, the secretory cycle is completely absent. With further development, the vessels burst and necrotic processes begin. Gradually, the female body begins to reject the necrotic endometrium. During this period, there is a strong uterine bleeding. In some cases, extensive bleeding leads to anemia. In addition, in women with similar disorders, anatomical abnormalities in the structure of the uterus are possible.
Anovulatory cycle: diagnosis and treatment methods.
As a rule, women with gynecologists are referred toperiodic uterine bleeding, or those who can not get pregnant, despite an active and regular sex life without protection from pregnancy.
Самое важное значение в процессе диагностики Anovulatory cycle has laboratory analysis of uterine tissue scrape. This analysis reveals the absence of secretory elements in the endometrium. Such a procedure is usually carried out about a day or two before the expected onset of menstruation.
In addition, a woman needs to pass a urine test, as well as blood, in order to check the hormone content, since the anovulatory cycle reveals a deviation in estrogen levels from the norm.
As for the treatment methods, herehormone therapy is used. Only the doctor has the right to prescribe such drugs, since the choice of medication depends on the reason for the development of deviations. The course of treatment lasts about two or three weeks in most cases. The first few days the drug is administered intramuscularly.
The prognosis for women diagnosed with anovulatory cycle is very favorable, because after treatment the ability to continue the race is restored.
