Patient's question:
Can Clomiphene help treat symptoms of luteal phase defect? What are the main symptoms of luteal phase dysfunction?Doctor's answer:
If there is luteal phase defect, the secretion function is poor, resulting in insufficient progesterone secretion. The clinical manifestations include regular menstrual cycles, but with shortened cycles or spotting a few days before menstruation, with no change in menstrual flow volume. Endometrial biopsy during the premenstrual period shows poor or uneven glandular secretion. Interstitial edema is not prominent. The basal body temperature is biphase, but the rise is slow, with a shorter luteal phase compared to normal, generally around 10 days.
