Ovulatory Support

Meaning

The clinical and pharmacological strategies employed to stimulate and regulate the process of ovulation, which is the release of a mature oocyte from the ovarian follicle, typically utilized in the treatment of female infertility due to ovulatory dysfunction. Ovulatory support involves the careful administration of medications, such as selective estrogen receptor modulators or gonadotropins, to restore or induce the normal cyclic function of the hypothalamic-pituitary-ovarian axis. The goal is to achieve a predictable and healthy ovulatory event.
