Overview of delayed ovulation

Reasons for delayed ovulation

Generally speaking, a woman's menstrual cycle is affected by a variety of factors, including genetics, hormone levels, health and lifestyle. Some factors may cause ovulation to be delayed, such as:

1. Chronic diseases: Certain chronic diseases, such as cardiovascular disease and asthma, may cause irregular menstrual cycles in women, thereby delaying ovulation.

2. Hormone levels: A woman’s hormone levels change during the menstrual cycle, especially during the earlier part of the cycle. For example, around day 14 of the menstrual cycle, female hormone levels peak and then begin to decline. If a woman has a hormone imbalance disease or medication, it may cause changes in hormone levels that can delay ovulation.

3. Age: As women age, their menstrual cycles and hormone levels may change. Generally speaking, the older a woman gets, the more irregular her cycles become, which can lead to delayed ovulation.

4. Living environment: Living environment also affects women’s menstrual cycle. For example, factors such as stress, environmental pollution, and diet may cause irregular menstrual cycles in women, thereby delaying ovulation.

Effects of delayed ovulation

Delaying ovulation may affect a woman’s fertility. If a woman's menstrual cycle is irregular, it may lead to an insufficient number of eggs or a decrease in egg quality, thus affecting a woman's fertility. In addition, if a woman's menstrual cycle is delayed, it may affect her sexual desire and orgasm experience, thereby affecting her quality of life.

If women experience delayed ovulation, it is recommended that they seek medical treatment promptly to understand the specific situation and take appropriate treatment measures. Additionally, women can improve their menstrual cycles and fertility through healthy lifestyle practices such as regular exercise, a balanced diet, and reducing stress.
