Progesterone supports women's pregnancy and embryo formation, and belongs to a class of progesterone hormones, which are also the most important hormones in humans. Progesterone plays a significant role in the female body, and embryonic growth is related to progesterone. Progesterone is produced during ovulation in the ovaries, and a portion is consumed by the adrenal gland. So, what would happen if the progesterone level is too low?
Low progesterone levels can cause symptoms of infertility, which is also the most obvious symptom, and irregular menstrual periods can also occur. Low progesterone is not conducive to fertility, and even after successful conception, the risk of miscarriage in pregnant women is relatively high. The symptoms of low progesterone are usually not noticed by female friends. It is recommended that female friends go to a professional hospital for regular check ups.
Symptoms of low progesterone levels may include thyroid dysfunction, hypoglycemia, gallbladder disease, and cystic breast disease. If women experience irregular menstrual cycles, abnormal weight gain, inexplicable dryness of the vagina, and pain in the vagina, they should be alert to the possibility of low progesterone levels. If women experience symptoms of low progesterone levels in the early stages of pregnancy, they are likely to experience miscarriage.
Women can adjust their progesterone levels appropriately through diet, and can obtain some soy isoflavones and natural vitamin E components from food. These nutrients can help women produce more progesterone in the body.
Eating fruits containing pectin and dietary fiber in moderation can also supplement progesterone to a certain extent.
