Progesterone is very important for pregnant women, so women must pay attention to the condition of progesterone after pregnancy. By conducting a blood routine test during pregnancy, women can accurately determine their progesterone levels. If there is a situation of low progesterone, corresponding measures should be taken immediately. So, what should pregnant women do if their progesterone is a bit low?
If a pregnant woman's progesterone is slightly low, the cause should be identified. After examination, if it is caused by abnormal luteal function, it is necessary to supplement progesterone in a timely manner. This can quickly restore progesterone to normal, usually improving symptoms of low progesterone levels after a few days.
Low progesterone levels in pregnant women may lead to threatened miscarriage. When pregnant women supplement progesterone, they should also pay attention to care, such as reducing activity and workload appropriately, and also rest in bed, which is very beneficial for protecting the fetus. In addition, pregnant women cannot take progesterone on their own and must follow medical advice when using it.
When low progesterone is found during pregnancy, one should also be alert to ectopic pregnancy. Usually, when an ectopic pregnancy occurs, it is also easy to experience symptoms of low progesterone levels. Therefore, pregnant women need to undergo a B-ultrasound examination to locate the position of the gestational sac. After excluding ectopic pregnancy, pregnant women can safely supplement progesterone. Once ectopic pregnancy is confirmed, it must be taken seriously and treatment measures should be taken immediately to avoid causing danger.
