Ovulation dysfunction is a disorder in which ovulation does not take place regularly. Ovulation is the term used to name the release of an egg from the ovary. This process is essential for pregnancy to occur. Ovulation is a compound process and depends on a sufficient amount of appropriate hormones at appropriate times of menstrual cycle. Anything that disrupts the hormonal regulation of the female cycle may result in ovulation dysfunction.

Ovulation is the procedure in the menstrual cycle by which a full-grown ovarian follicle breaks and issues an ovum (also recognized as an oocyte, feminine gamete, or in an informal way, an egg) that partakes in reproduction. This same ovulation process also happens in the estrous phase of animals, which is different in many essential ways to the menstrual period.
