Progesterone side effects

Progesterone, also known as progesterone, is mainly some progestogens. At the same time, it is mainly used for menopausal syndrome or some irregular menstruation phenomena. Its pharmacological effect is mainly a natural progesterone secreted by the corpus luteum of the ovary. In daily life, it is mainly used for habitual abortion, dysmenorrhea, or excessive menstrual bleeding and metrorrhagia. Oral large doses are also used for some diseases caused by progesterone deficiency, such as irregular menstruation and menstrual diseases.

It can also be used for prostate hyperplasia and sleep apnea syndrome. It has many effects, but it also has many side effects. The amount of progesterone used to maintain pregnancy is relatively limited. A progestin has a certain effect on insufficient corpus luteum secretion and threatened abortion caused by progesterone deficiency.

The use of progestins to treat threatened abortion is no longer recommended internationally, especially in early pregnancy. It is reported that the use of large amounts of progesterone in early pregnancy can increase the risk of fetal malformations of the spine, anus, limbs, etc. by 8 times. If synthetic progesterone is used (such as norethindrone, which has a masculinizing effect), about 18% of female fetuses will become masculinized. This outcome is very unfortunate.

The use of progesterone to maintain pregnancy is very limited. Progesterone is a progestin that is useful for threatened abortion caused by insufficient corpus luteum secretion and progesterone deficiency. But first you have to figure out if you have a progesterone deficiency. Whether there is a deficiency can be confirmed by laboratory tests or by measuring basal body temperature.

For those who do suffer from luteal insufficiency, in order to conceive, they can inject progesterone 3-4 days after the basal body temperature rises, and use it continuously for 9-10 weeks until the mother can secrete progesterone naturally. The use of progesterone in normal conditions of progesterone deficiency does not pose a risk. I hope you can correctly understand progesterone, correctly understand the different factors of miscarriage, and correctly understand how to preserve the fetus, so as to avoid doing good things with bad intentions.

The above are the side effects of the progesterone progesterone. It has many effects, but it also has many side effects. The amount of progesterone used to maintain pregnancy is also relatively limited. A progesterone has a certain effect on insufficient corpus luteum secretion and threatened abortion caused by progesterone deficiency, but be sure to use it under the guidance of a doctor. Therefore, if it is not used under guidance, all the side effects will occur.
