What are the symptoms of low corpus luteum?

The corpus luteum is a progesterone secreted by women. If the corpus luteum is insufficiently secreted, it will lead to irregular menstruation and ovulation bleeding, greatly reducing the chance of conception. Even if pregnancy occurs, threatened abortion may occur. When these symptoms appear, you need to be alert and, if necessary, inject progesterone. If the corpus luteum is low for a long time, it will cause great harm to the female body. Let’s take a look at the symptoms of low corpus luteum.

1. Low luteal function can easily lead to poor follicular development, incomplete luteal generation, and an imbalance in the ratio of estrogen and progesterone secreted by the corpus luteum itself. There are quite a few cases of infertility caused by corpus luteum insufficiency, accounting for about 3%-10% of all infertility cases.

2. If the corpus luteum function is low, the secretion of progesterone will be insufficient, the endometrium cannot produce normal secretory response or the responses of different parts of the endometrium are inconsistent, which will inevitably affect menstruation. It is generally manifested as a shortened menstrual cycle, frequent menstruation, difficulty in conception or easy miscarriage after conception.

3. Basic examinations of patients with low luteal function are within the normal range, and basal body temperature can show a normal biphasic performance. However, the body temperature rises slowly or at a low rate after ovulation, and the increase only lasts for 9 to 10 days. If the endometrium is scraped and biopsied, it is an insufficient secretory response.

4. If a woman has luteal insufficiency, she cannot secrete enough progesterone. The lack of progesterone makes it difficult to maintain pregnancy. Even if a woman is lucky enough to get pregnant, it is very likely that insufficient hormonal stimulation will prevent her from sustaining pregnancy and ultimately lead to habitual miscarriage. Menstrual Irregularities:

5. When a woman suffers from luteal insufficiency, she will have irregular menstruation, such as shortened, frequent, heavy, and prolonged menstrual cycles. This is because luteal dysfunction causes abnormal fluctuations in estrogen levels in the female body. Generally, patients have long-term irregular menstruation, and short-term irregular menstruation does not mean that they are ill.
