Do you need to fast for a progesterone test?

Patient's question:

I got married last year. Recently, I've been experiencing lower abdominal pain, especially during my period. I'm very worried about it affecting my fertility, and I also feel extremely cold and afraid of the cold. Please ask if a progesterone test requires fasting.

Doctor's answer:

If you only need to know whether to fast before a blood test for progesterone, you don't need to fast. Food does not affect progesterone levels, so you can go to a local regular hospital's specialized department to check your progesterone levels. Maintain a balanced diet and have regular prenatal check-ups.
The occurrence of gynecological diseases not only affects a woman's life but can also lead to the development of gynecological conditions. Therefore, it is best to visit the gynecology department of a hospital for a gynecological examination. After identifying the cause, symptomatic treatment should be administered. Pay attention to personal hygiene and keep the vulvar skin clean.
