Does low progesterone have a high success rate in preserving pregnancy?

It is a common phenomenon for women to have low progesterone during pregnancy. Generally, low progesterone requires pregnancy preservation or progesterone injection to maintain progesterone in the body. Generally, the success rate of pregnancy preservation with low progesterone depends on individual constitution. If the pregnant woman's body secretion function is low or poor, it may affect the normal secretion of progesterone and affect the normal development of the fetus.

Does low progesterone have a high success rate for pregnancy preservation?

If progesterone is low, pregnancy preservation treatment is necessary. It is not possible to say how high the success rate is, as it depends on the specific situation of the patient. The main function of the corpus luteum is to secrete progesterone, estrogen and relaxin. Most cases of low progesterone (insufficient progesterone secretion) are caused by luteal insufficiency. Progesterone mainly acts on the endometrium, causing secretory changes in the uterus, which is very necessary for the implantation of the fertilized egg and the maintenance of pregnancy. If progesterone is not secreted sufficiently, the secretory changes of the endometrium will be adversely affected.

In clinical practice, through endometrial biopsy, it is often found that some infertile women have poor secretory function, which is not conducive to the implantation of the fertilized egg. Even if the fertilized egg implants, insufficient progesterone secretion can cause miscarriage or fetal arrest. According to statistics, 3% to 4% of women's infertility is caused by low progesterone (luteal insufficiency).

As for the causes of low progesterone, most of the reasons for low progesterone are due to luteal insufficiency in women, resulting in insufficient progesterone secretion by the corpus luteum. During a normal pregnancy, the increase in progesterone can prevent the embryo from being rejected by the mother and maintain the pregnancy. If there is insufficient progesterone, the embryo will be rejected by the mother as a foreign body, resulting in miscarriage. If low progesterone levels occur, it is recommended to go to the hospital in time and receive targeted and effective treatment under the guidance of a doctor.

How to treat low progesterone in pregnant women

In clinical practice, it has been observed that more pregnant women with low progesterone have experienced fetal growth retardation. Their six sex hormone tests are normal and they do not have luteal insufficiency problems. However, their progesterone levels are too low after pregnancy and they cannot maintain normal pregnancy. Even if they take Chinese and Western medicine or inject corresponding Western medicine in time after pregnancy, they still experience abnormal pregnancy such as spontaneous abortion and fetal growth retardation.

This requires an in-depth analysis of the patient's physical constitution to find out where the problem lies, rather than using the results of Western medical instrument examinations as the basis for diagnosis. This is because many non-organic problems but functional problems cannot be detected by Western medical instruments. They require comprehensive analysis and diagnosis by experienced Chinese medicine practitioners, such as fatigue syndrome and menopausal syndrome. If you adjust your physical condition before pregnancy, make your internal organs function normally, have abundant Qi and blood, and have a healthy internal environment, you can ensure the safety of future pregnancy. Even if the progesterone level is not ideal in the early stages of pregnancy, it will return to normal after comprehensive conditioning, allowing you to conceive and give birth normally.

For friends whose progesterone levels are slightly low, in addition to Chinese medicine conditioning, you can try to eat more foods that contain hormones. The food is rich in soy isoflavones and natural vitamin E, which can help women's bodies produce more progesterone.
