Ovulation induction is a medical treatment used to stimulate the development and release of eggs (ovulation) in women who have difficulty ovulating or have irregular menstrual cycles. It is commonly used in fertility treatments to enhance the chances of conception. Ovulation induction can involve the use of medication, such as oral fertility drugs (e.g., Clomiphene citrate) or injectable hormones (e.g., gonadotropins). These medications work by regulating hormone levels and promoting the growth and maturation of ovarian follicles, which contain the eggs. Monitoring through ultrasound and hormone tests is usually conducted to determine the optimal timing for intercourse or assisted reproductive techniques like intrauterine insemination (IUI) or in vitro fertilization (IVF).

Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is a hormonal disorder that affects women of reproductive age. It is characterised by a combination of symptoms, including irregular or absent menstrual periods, excessive production of androgens (male hormones), and the presence of multiple small cysts on the ovaries. The exact cause of PCOS is not fully understood, but it is believed to involve a combination of genetic and environmental factors.
