How to treat progesterone deficiency

Progesterone deficiency is a problem that many women have, and it is also a health problem that can cause women to experience a variety of adverse symptoms. If a woman finds that she has progesterone deficiency, especially if she is pregnant, she must adjust her body in time to ensure her health and normal pregnancy, and avoid miscarriage and other phenomena. So, how to regulate progesterone deficiency?

1. Progesterone supplementation

If examination determines that a woman's progesterone level during the luteal phase is low and her endometrial secretion is poor, progesterone supplementation can be used as replacement therapy. This is one of the treatments for luteal insufficiency.

The use of progestins to treat threatened abortion is no longer recommended internationally, especially in early pregnancy. It is reported that the use of large amounts of progesterone in early pregnancy can increase the risk of fetal malformations of the spine, anus, limbs, etc. by 8 times. If synthetic progesterone is used (such as norethindrone, which has a masculinizing effect), about 18% of female fetuses will become masculinized. This outcome is very unfortunate.

2. Chinese medicine improves luteal function

The causes of the disease include kidney yin deficiency, kidney yang deficiency, liver meridian heat stagnation, etc. Progesterone deficiency is mainly caused by corpus luteum dysfunction, so the key lies in treating the corpus luteum.

The above is what to do if there is a progesterone deficiency. Ordinary progesterone in daily life is also very critical. It can be used to treat threatened abortion and asynchrony. Some Chinese medicine can be used to improve the function of the corpus luteum, which is necessary to maintain pregnancy. Insufficient progesterone will lead to some infertility conditions and at the same time it will lead to some hypothyroidism and depression.

3. Food supplements

1. Chicken liver: Chicken liver is rich in iron and selenium, which can promote the secretion of progesterone in the body and slowly regulate the problem of progesterone deficiency.

2. Soybeans: The isoflavones contained in soybeans can also promote the secretion of progesterone, allowing progesterone to slowly return to normal, and can also promote the balance of hormones in the body.

3. Pueraria root: Pueraria root contains rich natural plant hormones, which can supplement the progesterone in our body and also play a role in regulating the progesterone deficiency.
