Ovulation induction refers to a form of assisted reproduction treatment, that involves stimulating follicular growth, within the ovaries. So it involves giving medications to stimulate the follicles to grow. This can be in the form of tablets, or in the form of injections. And that is used in patients who may have problems ovulating, like patients with polycystic ovarian syndrome, where we give them medications to stimulate the follicles to grow and to induce ovulation.
