During the process of hormone testing, there will be various data on the laboratory report, and the numerical standards for different hormones may also vary. I believe most women cannot understand this examination report, after all, they are not professionals. For example, progesterone during the follicular phase is a specialized term. What does progesterone mean during the follicular phase?
Progesterone is actually what people often refer to as progesterone. The level of progesterone varies during each menstrual cycle. By observing changes in progesterone, it is possible to assist in determining which stage of ovulation the ovaries are in. For example, there are several stages of ovarian egg production, including follicular phase, ovulation phase, luteal phase, menopause, etc. During the follicular phase, progesterone levels are relatively low, and progesterone refers to this stage.
During a menstrual cycle, progesterone levels range from 0.31-1.52 during the follicular phase, 5.16-18.56 during the luteal phase, and only 0.08-0.78 during menopause. The entire follicular phase lasts for 12 days, from the date of the last menstrual cessation to the date before ovulation.
Regardless of the stage of ovulation in the ovaries, progesterone levels are very important. If progesterone levels are abnormal, the body's endocrine system will be disrupted, and a series of symptoms of endocrine disorders will appear. In severe cases, it may even affect pregnancy. Therefore, abnormal progesterone levels require active treatment and should not delay treatment time.
