Patient's question:
Hello! 6 items results FSH: 4.6 LH: 10.4 PRL: 115.0 E2: 370.30 P: 7.2 T: 1.59 The doctor said my progesterone is relatively low and luteinizing hormone is a bit high.Doctor's answer:
Hello: Insufficient progesterone secretion in women may be considered as luteal phase defect. Luteal phase defect refers to insufficient progesterone secretion by the corpus luteum, or premature luteal regression, leading to poor secretion of the endometrium and consequently making it difficult for the embryo to implant or causing 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; sometimes it is due to the immaturity of the embryo itself, which is not sensitive to gonadotropins; sometimes it is due to insufficient ability of the corpus luteum to synthesize progesterone, or an imbalance in the ratio between estrogen and progesterone. It is recommended that you visit a specialized hospital for further diagnosis and symptomatic treatment.
