Patient's question:
Doctor, I am already ten weeks pregnant. When I went to the hospital for a thorough check-up recently, I found that my progesterone level is relatively low. I would like to ask a few questions: can low progesterone lead to a recurrence of miscarriage?Doctor's answer:
Low progesterone levels may potentially lead to the issue of fetal demise. Generally, if the progesterone value is higher than 25, attention should be drawn. After conception, a woman's body produces a significant amount of progesterone, which is a gestational hormone and a necessary condition for ensuring the normal growth and development of the fetus. The critical value for progesterone is typically 5. If the progesterone value is higher than 5, it can generally be inferred that there is no risk of fetal demise. However, the final determination should be made through a thorough examination at the hospital.
