    GlossaryAnovulatory

    menstrual cycle without egg release

    Anovulatory refers to a menstrual cycle in which the ovaries do not release an egg (ovulate). This condition can lead to irregular menstrual periods or amenorrhea (absence of menstruation) and is often associated with hormonal imbalances, polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), or other underlying health issues. For professionals, understanding anovulation is crucial for diagnosing and treating infertility or menstrual disorders.
