Patient's question:
Detected luteal phase deficiency.Doctor's answer:
Whether the corpus luteum function is normal has a great impact on women's physiological activities. Insufficient corpus luteum function is a relatively common manifestation of endocrine disorders in women. Insufficient corpus luteum function may lead to corpus luteum phase bleeding in women, impaired implantation of the fertilized egg, and ultimately result in female infertility. Therefore, women should pay attention to preventing the occurrence of insufficient corpus luteum function and understand its causes. Experts point out that insufficient corpus luteum function is mainly due to the following reasons:1. Abnormal steroid hormone receptors in endometrial cells
Abnormal steroid hormone receptors in endometrial cells result in a low response to hormones secreted by the corpus luteum. Even if the corpus luteum function is normal, this leads to poor endometrial development, thereby causing infertility. Therefore, abnormal steroid hormone receptors in endometrial cells are one of the reasons for insufficient corpus luteum function.
2. Insufficient LH secretion during the corpus luteum phase
Experts point out that insufficient LH secretion during the corpus luteum phase or inadequate pulsatile secretion of LH can also lead to insufficient corpus luteum function.
3. Inadequate LH peak during the ovulation phase
If the LH peak during the ovulation phase in women is insufficient, it can also lead to insufficient corpus luteum function.
4. Insufficient FSH secretion during the follicular phase
Insufficient FSH secretion during the follicular phase in women, with low levels of FSH and estradiol in the follicular fluid, is also one of the reasons for insufficient corpus luteum function.
