Progesterone deficiency

Progesterone is mainly secreted by the corpus luteum of the ovary. In daily life, it is mainly found in women's bodies. It has no significant effect on estrogen stimulation and endometrium. It is mainly necessary in life. If progesterone is insufficient, some other types of diseases will occur. It is necessary to maintain pregnancy. Insufficient progesterone will lead to some infertility conditions and at the same time it will lead to some hypothyroidism and depression.

As well as some congenital breasts, some weight gain, gallbladder disease, hypoglycemia, panic attacks, irregular menstrual cycles, some periods during the year, and vaginal dryness. Low progesterone can lead to some miscarriages, so in daily life, insufficient progesterone must be taken seriously.

1. Progesterone supplementation

If examination determines that a woman's progesterone level during the luteal phase is low and her endometrial secretion is poor, progesterone supplementation can be used as replacement therapy. This is one of the treatments for luteal insufficiency.

The use of progestins to treat threatened abortion is no longer recommended internationally, especially in early pregnancy. It is reported that the use of large amounts of progesterone in early pregnancy can increase the risk of fetal malformations of the spine, anus, limbs, etc. by 8 times. If synthetic progesterone is used (such as norethindrone, which has a masculinizing effect), about 18% of female fetuses will become masculinized. This outcome is very unfortunate.

2. Chinese medicine improves luteal function

The causes of the disease include kidney yin deficiency, kidney yang deficiency, liver meridian heat stagnation, etc. Progesterone deficiency is mainly caused by corpus luteum dysfunction, so the key lies in treating the corpus luteum.

The above is what to do if there is a progesterone deficiency. Ordinary progesterone in daily life is also very critical. It can be used to treat threatened abortion and asynchrony. Some Chinese medicine can be used to improve the function of the corpus luteum, which is necessary to maintain pregnancy. Insufficient progesterone will lead to some infertility conditions and at the same time it will lead to some hypothyroidism and depression. Therefore, when the progesterone intake is insufficient, there are many other effective drugs. .
