Patient's question:
I'm also preventing pregnancy, but the doctor said my luteal phase is insufficient.Doctor's answer:
General luteal phase deficiency includes luteal phase defects and luteal phase shortening, which can lead to inadequate development of the secretory endometrium, making it difficult for the embryo to implant, or causing early miscarriage despite implantation. Luteal phase deficiency can be treated with ovulation-inducing drugs such as clomiphene, human chorionic gonadotropin, or traditional Chinese medicine. Additionally, low-dose cyclic estrogen administration or progesterone supplementation during the luteal phase can be used. The goal is to promote normal follicular development, maturation, and ovulation, thereby facilitating the proper development of the corpus luteum.
