What are the dangers of low progesterone?

Progesterone is the guarantee for the normal development of the fetus. If the progesterone level is too low, it will cause certain harm to the pregnant woman and the fetus. Progesterone is a substance secreted by the ovaries of pregnant women. If the secretion is insufficient, it can easily lead to difficulties for women to become pregnant. Every woman of childbearing age should be aware of the dangers of low progesterone and take good care of eugenics. Let’s take a look at the specific dangers of low progesterone.

Dangers of low progesterone:

1. Cause miscarriage

If a woman has low progesterone, it can be very harmful to her body and can easily lead to miscarriage. Because during a normal pregnancy, the level of progesterone increases, which can prevent the embryo from being rejected by the mother and maintain the pregnancy. Consequences of low progesterone: If there is insufficient progesterone, the embryo will be rejected by the mother as a foreign body, leading to miscarriage.

2. Leading to fetal arrest

Progesterone helps stimulate changes in the uterus during the reproductive process and promotes embryonic development by increasing blood flow to the blood vessels and tissues of the reproductive system. If the progesterone level is low, the fetus cannot develop normally and fetal growth retardation may occur. If you find that your progesterone level is low, you should first treat it before having a baby. If you are already pregnant and then find out that your progesterone level is low, you must go to the hospital and let the doctor help you preserve the fetus.

3. Abnormal thyroid function

If a woman has low progesterone after pregnancy, it will not only directly affect the stability of the fetus, but also have a great impact on some of the pregnant woman's body functions and physiological functions.

The most obvious cause of infertility is low progesterone in pregnant women, but in addition to this, many women will also suffer from hypothyroidism, breast tenderness, fibrocystic breasts, hypoglycemia and other conditions.

Among them, abnormal thyroid function is the most common and high incidence, so pregnant women must pay attention to the occurrence of thyroid abnormalities during this period.

4. Frequent uterine contractions

High concentrations of progesterone during pregnancy can calm the enlarged female uterus. In addition, it can also help pregnant women effectively relieve various pregnancy reactions, such as dizziness and morning sickness. If the progesterone level is low, frequent uterine contractions may occur. Excitement and contraction of the uterus may lead to abnormal fetal development and may even cause miscarriage.
