Ovulatory Dysfunction Any one of a number of conditions that affect menstruation and ovulation. Ovulatory dysfunction results from congenital defects, hormonal deficiencies, and/or the aging process.
One of the most common causes of female infertility is ovulatory dysfunction. Ovulation begins in the endocrine (hormone) system of the body, culminating with the release of a mature egg (oocyte) from a follicle at the surface of the ovary.
