There are various hormones in the human body, and their effects affect a person's gender, metabolism, growth, development, and sexual activity. There is a progesterone hormone in the female body that protects the endometrium and safeguards the growth and development of the fetus during pregnancy. Since the health of the endometrium is closely related to progesterone, and endometrial shedding is the "source" of menstruation, can low progesterone lead to menopause?
Low progesterone levels may lead to menopause, as low progesterone levels can affect the growth of the endometrium.
In general, if women over the age of 45 undergo six hormone tests and their progesterone levels are significantly low, it indicates that they are about to enter menopause. At this time, the ovaries cannot ovulate normally or secrete progesterone normally, resulting in a phenomenon of low progesterone levels.
If the progesterone level of women of childbearing age is too low, they may also experience temporary amenorrhea, which is a type of menstrual disorder. After discovering symptoms, timely adjustment and treatment should be carried out, and progesterone should be supplemented according to the doctor's guidance and combined with other treatments to restore menstruation.
Low progesterone can be treated through traditional Chinese medicine regulation, and dietary adjustments can also be made by consuming foods containing hormones, such as soy isoflavones and foods rich in natural vitamin E. These substances can stimulate the production of progesterone in women's bodies. Many fresh fruits are also rich in vitamin C and vitamin E, and regular consumption can also promote normal levels of progesterone in women's bodies.
