Progesterone in the early stage comes from the corpus luteum of the ovary, while in the later stage it mainly comes from progesterone secreted by the placenta. The presence of progesterone is of great significance for maintaining a normal menstrual cycle and normal pregnancy. So women should pay attention to changes in progesterone levels in their bodies after pregnancy. So, can high levels of progesterone in women cause fetal heart arrest?
High levels of progesterone in women do not cause fetal heart arrest, but can lead to miscarriage, postpartum hemorrhage, and other conditions. In general, progesterone levels in pregnant women should be above 25ng/ml. If the progesterone level in women is 15ng/ml, it indicates that their progesterone level is low, and the probability of threatened miscarriage is very high, making it difficult to successfully undergo fetal protection treatment.
So women should always pay attention to changes in progesterone levels in their bodies after pregnancy. For cases of low progesterone levels, women can take progesterone tablets or receive progesterone injections to supplement their progesterone levels. At the same time, pay attention to diet, and eat more foods containing estrogen and vitamin E, such as soybean milk, grapefruit, etc., which can promote progesterone secretion in the corpus luteum and maintain the normal level of progesterone.
In addition, there are many reasons that can cause fetal heart rate arrest, mainly including chromosomal abnormalities in the fetus, uterine fibroids in women, endocrine disorders, and unhealthy lifestyle habits. To prevent fetal heart arrest, women need to pay attention to their uterine contractions and regularly monitor fetal heart rate, which can facilitate normal fetal development.
