Patient's question:
Can hypothyroidism cause habitual abortion? Is this a factor or cause of habitual abortion?Doctor's answer:
Hello: Yes, this is the most common cause of habitual abortion. Luteal phase defect refers to insufficient progesterone secretion by the corpus luteum or premature luteal regression, leading to inadequate secretion of the endometrium and thus difficulty in implantation of the zygote or early pregnancy miscarriage. Luteal phase defect may be related to insufficient secretion of LH and FSH by the pituitary gland or excessive/insufficient secretion of prolactin by the pituitary gland; in some cases, it may be due to the zygote itself being immature and unresponsive to gonadotropins; in other cases, it may be related to insufficient ability of the corpus luteum to synthesize progesterone or an imbalance in the ratio of estrogen and progesterone. You can receive timely treatment after a clear diagnosis of the condition. After pregnancy, proper fetal preservation measures should be taken in a timely manner. Wishing you good health.
