Patient's question:
How to treat luteal phase deficiency. I've been married for two years and haven't been able to get pregnant. The hospital did a blood test and said that the infertility is caused by luteal phase insufficiency. My periods are actually quite regular, about 30 days apart. The doctor said that this condition is mainly due to thin endometrium, making it difficult to implant. Even if I get pregnant, it's very easy to have a miscarriage. There's also the risk of embryonic arrest.Doctor's answer:
Luteal phase defect has many harmful effects on women and can lead to a decrease in estrogen and progesterone levels in the female body, affecting fertility. The symptoms of luteal phase defect include: an increase in basal body temperature, where patients generally exhibit a biphasic basal body temperature pattern. After ovulation, the temperature rises gradually, with a low amplitude, typically less than 0.5°C, and the elevated period lasts for 9 to 10 days. Abnormal menstruation, such as shortened menstrual cycles, frequent menstruation, and spotting before menstruation in some cases. Abnormal endometrium, unable to produce normal secretory responses, and uneven endometrial reaction. Recommendations:
