What to do if progesterone is high during the follicular phase

Pregnancy is a major event in people's lives, but once the body shows symptoms of illness, it will affect normal pregnancy. Among them, high progesterone in the follicular phase is a relatively common situation. In order to help everyone better understand this situation, let's take a look at how relevant experts introduce it. I hope these introductions can help everyone better understand the disease and comprehensively deal with the situation of high progesterone in the follicular phase. Let’s take a look at it together.

This symptom can be cured by paying attention to diet and hygiene in time and choosing hormone drugs for treatment. It is mainly recommended to choose androgen drugs for treatment.

Guidance:

Abnormal hormone levels may affect normal pregnancy. The main thing is to see whether there is normal ovulation, abnormalities in other hormones, etc.

If the progesterone level is too high, it may affect the amount of menstruation and ovulation. However, this is not necessarily the main cause of infertility. It is recommended to do an ultrasound to detect the follicles to see whether ovulation can occur. If it can, it is not the reason.

The role of progesterone

1. Progesterone inhibits uterine contractions

Some people believe that progesterone can change the permeability of the uterine muscle cell membrane to ions, causing the membrane to be in a hyperpolarized state, thereby reducing the excitability of the uterine muscle and at the same time reducing the sensitivity of the uterine muscle to various stimuli (especially oxytocin).

(ii) Progesterone maintains the decidual response

Decidual cells are transformed from endometrial stromal cells and contain glycogen granules, which provide nutrition to the blastocyst. Injecting pregnant mice with "rabbit anti-mouse decidua serum" can cause miscarriage, indicating the importance of decidua in maintaining pregnancy.

3. Progesterone suppresses immune response

The fertilized egg is a "semi-allogeneic transplant" (Semiallograft), but why is it not rejected by the mother's immune system when it implants? Some people have found that when certain tumor cells are transplanted into the uterine cavity of animals, only in animals injected with progesterone will the tumor cells not be rejected and implant into the uterine wall, indicating that progesterone can suppress the immune response.

After the detailed introduction above, I believe that everyone must have a deeper understanding of high progesterone in the follicular phase. I hope everyone can pay more attention to their own health. When you find relevant symptoms in your body, you must go to a regular medical institution for examination as soon as possible and take preventive measures as soon as possible. At the same time, the editor would like to remind everyone to develop good living habits. Good health will be of great help in resisting diseases.
