2. Precautions for pregnant women: What to do if progesterone is low

1. Food supplements

If the progesterone level is low, the doctor recommends going to the hospital for treatment and taking natural progesterone supplements under the doctor's orders. Eat foods such as soybeans to help increase progesterone. It cannot be obtained from food alone because the progesterone content in food is very low.

Eating some peaches, grapefruits, hawthorns, strawberries, kiwis, pears, etc., which are rich in pectin and dietary fiber, will not cause large fluctuations in blood sugar. Because fruits also have the following advantages:

(1) The bright color and delicious taste can stimulate appetite.

(2) Rich in vitamin C, it helps digestion, prevents arteriosclerosis and delays aging.

(3) The sugar content is lower than that of staple foods, the volume is larger, and it is easy to produce a feeling of fullness.

(4) The pectin and dietary fiber it contains can delay the absorption of glucose.

2. Medicinal supplements

Progesterone is clinically used for reactive diagnosis of amenorrhea or causes of amenorrhea, such as threatened abortion and habitual abortion.

Intramuscular injection, 10-20 mg each time.

(1) Habitual abortion: 10-20 mg intramuscularly once a day or 2-3 times a week until the fourth month of pregnancy.

(2) Dysmenorrhea: Inject 5-10 mg daily 6-8 days before menstruation for a total of 4-6 days. The treatment course can be repeated several times. It can be used in combination with estrogen for dysmenorrhea caused by uterine hypoplasia.

(3) Excessive menstrual bleeding and metrorrhagia: 10-20 mg intramuscularly daily, 5-7 days as a course of treatment, can be repeated 3-4 times, with an interval of 15-20 days between each course.

(4) Amenorrhea: After giving estrogen for 2 to 3 weeks, immediately give this product 3 to 5 mg per day. A course of treatment is 6 to 8 days. The total dose should not exceed 300 to 350 mg. The course of treatment can be repeated 2 to 3 times.

3. Precautions for pregnant women

First, avoid smoking. When pregnant women smoke, they create a harsh environment for the fetus, which can easily lead to fetal deformities and incomplete development of internal organs.

Second, avoid alcohol. Alcohol mainly contains ethanol. Drinking alcohol during pregnancy not only damages the liver and kidney functions, but also directly affects the baby. Because ethanol can pass through the placenta smoothly and directly stimulate the baby, it can easily cause low intelligence in the fetus, especially in the early stages of pregnancy when it is most likely to cause fetal malformations.

Third, avoid eating new and spicy foods. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that spicy foods are mostly hot in nature, which can easily consume body fluids, leading to heat generation and fetal movement disorder.

Fourth, avoid fried foods. Fried foods often contain carcinogens, which are extremely harmful to the development of the fetus.

Five things to avoid: being picky about food. Picky eating can easily lead to fetal malnutrition, resulting in fetal developmental defects.
