Progesterone is mainly produced by the corpus luteum, so it is also called progesterone. Progesterone is an important substance necessary for maintaining pregnancy. If a woman experiences insufficient progesterone during pregnancy preparation or pregnancy, it can seriously affect fertility and lead to infertility or miscarriage. So, how to regulate insufficient progesterone?
1. Supplementing progesterone: If the examination confirms that the progesterone level in the female body is low during the luteal phase and the endometrium secretes poorly, progesterone supplementation can be used as a substitute therapy, which is one of the treatment methods for luteal insufficiency. It is no longer recommended internationally to use progesterone to treat threatened miscarriage, especially in early pregnancy. According to reports, the use of large amounts of progesterone in early pregnancy can increase the risk of fetal deformities in the spine, anus, limbs, and other areas by 8 times. If artificially synthesized progesterone is used, about 18% of female fetuses become male. It is unfortunate that such an outcome occurred.
2. Traditional Chinese medicine improves luteal function: The causes of progesterone deficiency include kidney yin deficiency, kidney yang deficiency, liver meridian heat stagnation, etc. The main reason for progesterone deficiency is due to luteal insufficiency, so the fundamental treatment is to treat the corpus luteum. Common progesterone is also crucial in daily life, as it can be used to treat threatened miscarriage and asynchrony. Some traditional Chinese medicine can be used to improve the function of the corpus luteum, which is necessary for maintaining pregnancy. Insufficient progesterone can lead to infertility, as well as thyroid dysfunction and depression.
