Patient's question:
What is checked in corpus luteum function. Since getting married, three years have passed, I have been pregnant twice, but both times I had a miscarriage. The first time, I thought it was because I hadn't paid attention. But even after being very careful the second time, it still miscarried. The doctor said it was habitual abortion caused by insufficient corpus luteum function. How can I check if my corpus luteum function is normal?Doctor's answer:
Luteal phase defect can cause many harms to women and lead to a decrease in estrogen and progesterone levels in the female body, affecting fertility. The symptoms of luteal phase defect include: an increase in basal body temperature, where patients generally exhibit a biphasic basal body temperature pattern. After ovulation, the temperature gradually rises with a low amplitude, typically less than 0.5°C, and the elevated period lasts for 9 to 10 days. Abnormal menstruation, such as shortened menstrual cycles, frequent menstruation, and spotting before menstruation in some cases. Abnormal endometrium, unable to produce normal secretory responses, leading to an unbalanced endometrial reaction.Advice: Luteal phase defect can affect pregnancy. Due to individual differences, the methods of regulation are also different. It is recommended to take Chinese medicine Yu Gong Pei Lin Wan for regulation. Wish you health! Luteal phase defect can hinder the normal implantation of the zygote, causing primary or secondary infertility. Clinical reports indicate that approximately 3.5–10% of infertility cases are caused by luteal phase defect. In addition to infertility, there is often recurrent early pregnancy miscarriage.
