Patient's question:
I've been married for 2 years, and I just found out I'm 2 months pregnant. Since it's my first child, I'm not very clear about many things, and basically, whatever the doctor says goes. I heard from people around me that there are many tests to be done after pregnancy. I searched online about progesterone tests, and it says that all pregnant women need to be tested. I'd like to know the specific content of the test.What kind of help I need: What is a progesterone test?
Doctor's answer:
Hello, it is important to pay attention to the question of what progesterone is. Progesterone is a natural progestogen secreted by the corpus luteum of the ovary. It has a significant morphological effect on the estrogen-stimulated endometrium in the body and is essential for maintaining pregnancy. Progesterone is clinically used for conditions such as threatened abortion, habitual abortion, and reactive diagnosis of amenorrhea or the cause of amenorrhea. Progesterone, also known as progesterone, is a progestogen. It has a certain role in artificially adjusting the menstrual cycle, but progesterone is not a panacea. Progesterone is a prescription drug and should be used under the guidance of a doctor. Progesterone has side effects, so it should be used with caution. Progesterone is available in two formulations: oral and injectable.
