Scientific pregnancy can be beneficial for a smooth delivery of the baby, so it is essential to do a good job in preparing for pregnancy. After pregnancy, it is important to take good care of your body and undergo various pregnancy tests on time. Some pregnant women may find that their progesterone levels are low during the tests and are very worried. So, what situations can lead to low progesterone levels?
1. Luteal insufficiency: If the luteal function is incomplete, the development of the corpus luteum in the female ovaries will be very incomplete, and progesterone levels will correspondingly decrease. You can adjust it through diet, or go to the hospital to prescribe some supplementary drugs for adjustment.
2. Effects of ectopic pregnancy: Some women may experience low progesterone levels after pregnancy due to previous ectopic pregnancies or amenorrhea. So it is important to conduct comprehensive examinations during pregnancy and make targeted adjustments based on specific causes.
3. Insulin resistance: Under normal circumstances, progesterone continuously stimulates changes in the uterus during the process of reproduction, thereby increasing the blood flow velocity of the reproductive system's blood vessels and tissues, promoting embryonic development, and benefiting the healthy growth of the fetus.
4. Thyroid dysfunction: When women have thyroid dysfunction or adrenal abnormalities, ovarian function will be damaged and progesterone levels will be relatively low. Therefore, comprehensive testing must be carried out during pregnancy. Reasonable treatment based on specific conditions is necessary to ensure the health of pregnant women and fetuses.
