What are the symptoms of luteal insufficiency?

As a woman, you cannot ignore luteal insufficiency because it will affect the menstrual cycle and cause menstrual disorders, continuous bleeding, and sometimes even infertility problems. Therefore, women must pay attention to conditioning and treatment.

1. The menstrual cycle is normal, but the period is prolonged, which can be up to 9-10 days or even longer, but the amount is not too much. That is, 2-3 days after the menstruation is over, the vagina will drip again.

2. Secretion of brown secretions. During the days when there is this kind of vaginal secretion, there will be a dull pain in the lower left abdomen, as if there is air that is not flowing and is blocked there.

3. Some women may experience ovulation bleeding (a small amount of bleeding between two menstrual periods) and lower abdominal pain.

4. The basal body temperature is biphasic but decreases slowly, and often has not dropped to the normal proliferation level during the menstrual period (the body temperature during the menstrual period is still in the high temperature period).

5. Infertility: Women in their childbearing years will find it more difficult to conceive, or they may easily suffer miscarriage if they become pregnant.

6. The endometrium cannot produce normal secretory response, and the endometrial response is unbalanced.

7. Basal body temperature: The day after a woman ovulates, the corpus luteum is formed in the ovaries. The secretion of progesterone by the corpus luteum will cause the body temperature to rise by about 0.6 degrees Celsius, causing the body temperature to fluctuate between high and low phases. The high temperature period lasts about 14 days. However, patients with luteal insufficiency will experience a slower rise in body temperature, or a lower rise, usually less than 0.5°C, and the temperature rise will only last about 9 days.
