What are the dangers of low luteinizing hormone?

I believe that most people don’t know when luteinizing hormone is produced. In fact, it is secreted by the alkaliphilic granulocytes of the pituitary gland. For women, luteinizing hormone mainly acts on the ovaries and can effectively regulate women’s menstrual cycle. Therefore, once the luteinizing hormone level is abnormal, the most direct manifestation is menstrual disorders in women. So if the luteinizing hormone level is low, what harm will it do to women’s health?

First, the harm of low luteinizing hormone

1. Directly lead to infertility: The endometrium of women with low luteinizing hormone cannot be shed at the normal time. The endometrium before menstruation still remains in the early secretory stage, and the secretory response is poor. There is a slight bend on the endometrium, which makes it difficult for women to conceive and leads to infertility.

2. Menstrual disorders: Some patients with low luteinizing hormone will experience menstrual disorders, such as shortened menstrual cycle, heavy menstruation, frequent menstruation, prolonged menstruation (up to 9-10 days or even longer), etc., which make women suffer.

Second, treatment of low luteinizing hormone

Progesterone supplementation: If examination determines that a woman's progesterone level is low and endometrial secretion is poor during the luteal phase, progesterone supplementation can be used as replacement therapy.

Human chorionic gonadotropin: When the follicles are close to maturity, the use of human chorionic gonadotropin can induce ovulation. Taking medication after ovulation can stimulate the development of the corpus luteum, support corpus luteum function, increase progesterone synthesis, and prolong the life of the corpus luteum.

Third, what is the normal value of luteinizing hormone?

What is the normal level of luteinizing hormone? Experts clearly pointed out that the main function of luteinizing hormone is to promote ovulation, form corpus luteum and secrete progesterone, which can predict ovulation. If the luteinizing hormone is abnormal (too high or too low), it will affect the function of estrogen and cause women to be unable to ovulate normally. So, what is the normal value of luteinizing hormone?

Luteinizing hormone is involved in the ovulation promotion of follicle-stimulating hormone, promoting the formation and secretion of estrogen and progesterone, promoting testicular synthesis, and secreting androgen. Normal values ​​of luteinizing hormone: 1.2~7.8U/L for men; 1.65~15U/L for women in follicular phase, 0.61~16.3U/L in luteal phase, 21.9~56.6U/L in ovulation phase, 14.2~52.3U/L in menopause.
