Anovulation is when the ovaries do not release a secondary oocyte during a menstrual cycle. Therefore, ovulation does not take place. Chronic anovulation is a common cause of infertility. Anovulation usually manifests itself as irregularity of menstrual periods, that is, unpredictable variability of intervals, duration, or bleeding. Anovulation can also cause cessation of periods (secondary amenorrhea) or excessive bleeding (dysfunctional uterine bleeding). The primary cause of infertility is anovulation accounting for 30% which frequently manifests as oligomenorrhea and amenorrhea. Ovarian factor contributes 30-40% of infertility cases among women. In modern science, various treatments are available for ovulation induction but all have unsatisfactory results and complications. So there is a great scope of research to find out safe potent remedy for the management of Anovulation. However, there is lack of specific treatment for anovulation, necessitating the development of a protocol that specifically addresses this issue. Due to above mentioned reasons and by understanding the impact of anovulation in women’s life an attempt is made to have effective ayurvedic treatment regime.
