Answer 1

One of the major cause of anovulation is pcos which is poly cystic ovarian syndromes. It is also a endocrine alteration in which androgen is secreted in excess which in turn degrades the ovarian hormone and can cause anovulation .

As there is no data and further history is maintained so we need to see some basic possible factors related to this.
