Patient's question:
I haven't had my period for about a month this time, and I calculated that it might be possible that I'm pregnant. Yesterday, I went to the hospital for a check-up, and the HCG levels were very high, but the progesterone levels have always been very low. The doctor said it was dangerous. I have been taking medication, but I haven't had any discomfort symptoms, no abdominal pain, or any bleeding. I'm not sure if my condition is due to low progesterone.What kind of help do I need: What are the symptoms of low progesterone?
Doctor's answer:
Low progesterone can easily lead to miscarriage. In cases of low progesterone, it is primarily recommended to use drugs such as progesterone and vitamin E under the guidance of a doctor for treatment to prevent miscarriage. During treatment, if the symptoms of vaginal bleeding subside, the medication can be stopped promptly to avoid any adverse effects on the fetus caused by long-term medication. If the bleeding is heavy or accompanied by abdominal pain, it may indicate an inevitable miscarriage, and medical attention should be sought immediately.During the treatment to prevent miscarriage, sexual activity is strictly prohibited. It is advisable to consume less spicy, animal blood, and hot foods, including garlic, ginger, pepper, curry, cinnamon, alcohol, coffee, and peaches. Additionally, cold foods such as snails, river clams, and crabs should also be consumed in moderation. It is recommended to eat more fresh vegetables, drink plenty of water, and maintain regular bowel movements.
