Ovulation Dysfunction: How can it be treated?
The most direct and effective way to treat an ovulatory dysfunction is to identify and treat its cause.
In situations of ovulatory dysfunction where the cause cannot be identified or cannot be treated, consideration
of fertility medication is appropriate. In selected women with an ovarian cause for ovulatory dysfunction fertility
medication may be effective.
This section includes discussions of hypothyroidism (low thyroid function), hyperthyroidism (elevated thyroid function),
hyperprolactinemia (elevated circulating prolactin concentration), and ovulation induction using clomiphene citrate
(Serophene or Clomid) or the menotropins (Pergonal, Humegon, Metrodin, Fertinex, or the new recombinant forms of FSH).
The use of donor eggs for In Vitro Fertilization is also presented.
