Patient's question:
How to regulate a lack of progesterone: Symptoms include vaginal dryness and reduced secretions, test results show low progesterone levels, and the treatment medications are Spots-Removing Menstrual Regulation Capsules and Golden Water Treasure Capsules. What can be eaten to regulate this?Doctor's answer:
Lack of progesterone mainly leads to short menstrual cycles, frequent menstruation, and can also cause vaginal dryness. Clinically, progesterone is primarily used for treatment, and the specific dosage and duration should be determined by the treating physician. Since it is a hormone-based medication, if you are older, you should undergo regular medical check-ups at the hospital. While taking the medication, you can also supplement with vitamin B2 to treat vaginal dryness. When vitamin B2 deficiency occurs, it mainly manifests as cheilitis (inflammation of the corners of the mouth), blepharitis (inflammation of the eyelids), conjunctivitis, dryness of the nasal and auditory mucosa, dry skin, and scaling. Its deficiency is particularly severe for female reproductive organs,,. Supplementation with vitamin B2 can be achieved not only through medication but also by adjusting the diet. Animal organs are rich in vitamin B2, especially liver, which has the highest content. Consuming just 50–100 grams of these organs daily can meet your daily vitamin B2 needs. Other animal foods such as pork, eggs, and aquatic products like eel and river crabs also contain significant amounts of vitamin B2. Among plant-based foods, soybeans, peanuts, and leafy greens are particularly rich in vitamin B2.
