Patient's question:
Hello doctor, I am currently 50 days pregnant and the test results show progesterone over 12, which the doctor says is low. What factors or causes could lead to low progesterone? What should I do?Doctor's answer:
Clinical Advice: Low progesterone levels are quite common in clinical practice, so you don't need to worry too much. The decrease in progesterone is mainly due to luteal dysfunction, functional disorders of the corpus luteum, polycystic ovary syndrome, anovulatory dysfunctional uterine bleeding, severe pregnancy-induced hypertension syndrome, and placental dysfunction during pregnancy, with luteal insufficiency being the primary concern.Countermeasures: Currently, oral or injectable synthetic progesterone is commonly used. The specific treatment plan should be determined by the doctor based on the examination results.
Additionally, during daily life, it is important to rest, avoid overexertion, and maintain emotional stability.
