Ovulation induction is a fertility treatment used to stimulate the ovaries to release eggs in women who have irregular or absent ovulation, a common cause of infertility. This process typically involves the use of medications, such as clomiphene citrate or gonadotropins, to encourage the development and release of one or more eggs during the menstrual cycle. Ovulation induction is often combined with timed intercourse or intrauterine insemination (IUI) to increase the chances of conception. It is commonly used in women with conditions like polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) or other hormonal imbalances. Monitoring through blood tests and ultrasound ensures that ovulation is occurring at the right time and helps prevent complications such as ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome (OHSS), a condition where the ovaries become swollen and painful. Ovulation induction is a key component of many fertility treatment plans, helping women who struggle with ovulation to improve their chances of pregnancy.
