Patient's question:
What is the meaning of luteal phase deficiency? Does it affect pregnancy? Is medication required?Doctor's answer:
Hello: Luteal phase defect refers to insufficient progesterone secretion by the corpus luteum or premature luteal regression, leading to inadequate secretion of the endometrium and consequently difficulty in implantation of the zygote or early pregnancy miscarriage. Luteal phase defect may be related to insufficient secretion of LH and FSH by the pituitary gland, excessive or insufficient prolactin secretion by the pituitary gland, or other factors such as the immaturity of the zygote itself, insensitivity to gonadotropins, insufficient ability of the corpus luteum to synthesize progesterone, or an imbalance in the ratio of estrogen to progesterone. It is recommended that you and your partner come to our hospital for a comprehensive and systematic examination to identify the factors or causes of infertility or subfertility, so that targeted treatment can be administered. Do not miss the best age for pregnancy. Wishing you good health!
