Patient's question:
Does luteal phase insufficiency affect pregnancy? I just got married and discovered during a physical exam that I have luteal phase insufficiency. I want to ask if this will affect pregnancy?Doctor's answer:
Hello! Luteal phase defect refers to insufficient progesterone secretion by the corpus luteum or premature luteal regression, leading to poor secretion of the endometrium. This can make it difficult for the fertilized egg to implant, and even if pregnancy occurs, it may cause miscarriage in women.Advice: Luteal phase deficiency can result in low corpus luteum secretion function, leading to insufficient progesterone levels and poor secretory response of the endometrium. This makes it difficult for the embryo to implant, potentially causing infertility or ectopic pregnancy in women. Additionally, the risk of early miscarriage during pregnancy is very high. It is recommended that you visit a formal specialized hospital for examination. Wishing you good health!
