Clomiphene, also known as clomiphene citrate capsules, is a medication widely used in the treatment of female infertility. Its functions include:
1. Promoting ovulation: Clomiphene works by occupying estrogen receptors in the hypothalamus, disrupting the negative feedback of endogenous estrogen, thereby stimulating the secretion of luteinizing hormone (LH) and follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH). This promotes the growth and maturation of ovarian follicles, ultimately inducing ovulation.
2. Treating anovulatory infertility: For infertility caused by ovulatory disorders, clomiphene can effectively help women restore ovulatory function and increase the chances of conception.
3. Improving luteal phase function: Clomiphene can also enhance luteal function in women, increasing progesterone secretion, thus helping to treat menstrual irregularities and habitual miscarriage caused by luteal phase deficiency.
Clomiphene plays an important role in the field of female reproductive health. However, it must be used strictly under medical supervision to ensure both safety and effectiveness.
