Patient's question:
I am five months pregnant. I went for a thorough check-up today, and the doctor said my progesterone level is low. I want to ask if low progesterone can lead to fetal demise?Doctor's answer:
Generally, progesterone deficiency can lead to fetal demise. If the progesterone level is very low, it may also cause habitual abortion. It is recommended to go to the hospital for a check-up. Oral or anesthetized progesterone medication can be taken, which would be more effective. In severe cases, it is essential to rest in bed and avoid increasing physical activity to minimize impact on recovery. Pay attention to maintaining hygiene and follow a regular lifestyle with adequate rest.
