Insufficient progesterone affects the growth of the fetal heart and buds, and progesterone is an essential hormone for the growth of the fetal heart and buds.
Progesterone, also known as luteinizing hormone, is a sex hormone secreted by the corpus luteum of the ovary after a woman has ovulated, and it rises to a peak seven days after ovulation.
If progesterone is insufficient, it will affect the development of the fetus, resulting in the delayed appearance of fetal heartbeat and buds, or even the occurrence of preeclampsia and fetal arrest, which poses a serious threat to the health of the fetus, so it is important for women to measure progesterone values on time during pregnancy.
If a woman’s progesterone level is low during pregnancy, it is recommended that she consult a doctor in time and use progesterone medication to treat the condition under the doctor’s guidance. Meanwhile, during pregnancy, it is important to go to the hospital regularly to complete a pregnancy test to understand the development of the fetus, and avoid exertion and strenuous exercise.
