How to stop taking dydrogesterone to maintain pregnancy

Can dydrogesterone be discontinued directly? It is well known that dydrogesterone is a method of progesterone supplementation, which is mainly used clinically to treat female symptoms such as irregular menstruation, dysmenorrhea, and premenstrual syndrome. The doctor told us that we should not stop taking dydrogesterone directly, but should stop taking it slowly in a step-by-step manner. The following mainly introduces the relevant knowledge related to progesterone.

Dydrogesterone cannot be discontinued directly. The dosage must be reduced slowly until it is discontinued. Dydrogesterone tablets, whose main ingredient is dydrogesterone, can be used to treat diseases caused by endogenous progesterone deficiency, such as dysmenorrhea, endometriosis, secondary amenorrhea, irregular menstrual cycle, dysfunctional uterine bleeding, premenstrual syndrome, threatened abortion or habitual abortion caused by progesterone deficiency, and infertility caused by corpus luteum deficiency. It is an oral progestin that causes the endometrium to enter a full secretory phase, thereby preventing the risk of endometrial hyperplasia and cancer caused by estrogen. Dydrogesterone can be used for various diseases caused by endogenous progesterone deficiency. Dydrogesterone has no estrogen, androgen or adrenocortical hormone effects. Dydrogesterone is not heat-producing and has no effect on lipid metabolism.

If the progesterone level is low, you can take natural progesterone drugs (such as progesterone capsules, dydrogesterone tablets, etc.) orally to supplement progesterone, but it is contraindicated to take large amounts for a long time, as excessive hormones can also harm the health of the fetus and the mother. In addition, you can eat more beans, cereals or fruits rich in pectin. What is the normal level of progesterone?

Females of childbearing age: 0.6-2.9nmol/L (0.2-0.9ng/ml) during follicular phase

Females of childbearing age: 9.5-111.3 nmol/L (3.0-35.0 ng/ml) during the luteal phase

Females of childbearing age: 63.6～1272nmol/L (20-400ng/ml) during pregnancy

Female of childbearing age: 0.1～0.95nmol/L (0.03-0.3ng/ml) during menopause

What to eat when progesterone is low

Progesterone plays a great role for women and plays a vital role in women's healthy life. Fertility and embryo development are related to progesterone. Progesterone directly affects women's pregnancy life. Low progesterone is not only harmful to the health of pregnant women, but also endangers the health of the fetus. In severe cases, it may even lead to miscarriage. However, for non-pregnant women, it may lead to infertility. Therefore, progesterone should be supplemented in time. Women with low progesterone should supplement natural progesterone under the doctor's advice. Eating the following foods can also help regulate low progesterone:

1. It contains relatively rich soy isoflavones and natural vitamin E, which can help women's bodies produce more progesterone.

2. 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 have many advantages, as evidenced by the following examples: their bright color and delicious taste can stimulate appetite; they are rich in vitamin C, which can aid digestion, prevent arteriosclerosis, and delay aging; their sugar content is lower than that of staple foods, their volume is large, and they are easy to produce a feeling of fullness; the pectin and dietary fiber they contain can delay the absorption of glucose.
