Study : Irregular menstrual pattern or cycle can be a sign of infertility
News24xx.com - Are you aware your irregular menstrual pattern or cycle that tends to include missing periods can be a sign of infertility? This may suggest that a woman may not be ovulating on a regular basis as she should be.
Irregular ovulation can happen due to many problems such as polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), obesity, being underweight, or having thyroid issues.
Here, we explain to you why an irregular menstrual pattern can lead to infertility.
The menstrual cycle can be described as the monthly series of changes that a woman’s body undergoes in order to prepare her for conceiving (the possibility of getting pregnant).
The process of ovulation takes place when one’s ovary releases an egg. Moreover, at the same time, one’s hormonal changes also prepare the uterus in order to conceive and get pregnant.
So, if the ovulation takes place and the egg is not fertilized, the lining of the uterus sheds via the vagina and this is termed as a menstrual period.
