How the consultation works

A consultation with an obstetrician-gynecologist for absent ovulation includes reviewing complaints, assessing the current condition, and forming a plan for next steps. The scope of examinations is determined individually, based on indications, and depends on the information collected and the medical history. At the first appointment, a final diagnosis is not made, but an initial understanding of the problem is formed.

1. Clarifying complaints and the purpose of the visit: determining what is bothering the patient, how long the symptoms have been present, what affects the condition, and what expectations the patient has.
2. Collecting medical history and risk factors related to reproductive health and the menstrual cycle.
3. Reviewing previous treatment, examinations, and test results — patients are advised to bring any available results and a list of medications they are taking.
