What are the symptoms of progesterone deficiency?

Progesterone deficiency is an abnormal phenomenon in women, which has a great impact on their bodies. If you want to know whether you have progesterone deficiency, you can look at the symptoms of progesterone deficiency. One of the more obvious symptoms is menstrual disorders. Progesterone deficiency can also lead to infertility.

1. Infertility:

Because the corpus luteum cannot shrink and degenerate as scheduled or degenerates incompletely, the continued secretion of a small amount of progesterone will cause the endometrium to be unable to shed at the normal time. The endometrium before menstruation still remains in the early secretion stage, making it difficult for women to conceive.

2. Menstrual disorders:

Some patients with luteal insufficiency may experience menstrual disorders, such as shortened menstrual cycle, excessive or insufficient menstruation, prolonged menstruation, etc., which seriously endanger women's health.

3. Miscarriage:

Due to luteal insufficiency, the uterus cannot secrete enough progesterone. Therefore, even if female patients with corpus luteum insufficiency conceive normally, it is difficult to maintain normal pregnancy, which may lead to miscarriage or habitual miscarriage.

4.Basal body temperature:

The day after a woman ovulates, the corpus luteum is formed in the ovaries. The secretion of progesterone by the corpus luteum will cause the body temperature to rise by about 0.6 degrees Celsius, and the body temperature will fluctuate between high and low phases. The high temperature period lasts about 14 days. However, patients with luteal insufficiency will experience a slower rise in body temperature, or a lower increase, usually less than 0.5°C, and the temperature rise will only last about 9 days.

5. Luteal insufficiency

Luteal insufficiency refers to the insufficient endocrine function of the luteum formed after ovarian ovulation, resulting in insufficient secretion of progesterone, insufficient secretion and transformation of the endometrium, and the symptoms of ovulatory dysfunctional uterine bleeding. Luteal insufficiency is not conducive to the implantation of the fertilized egg and can lead to infertility or habitual miscarriage.

Patients with luteal insufficiency usually do not have any discomfort symptoms, but may not ovulate in several menstrual cycles, and sometimes have excessive and frequent menstruation or prolonged menstruation.
