Low progesterone during pregnancy can be promptly treated with medication under the direction of a physician based on clinical symptoms.
Adequate levels of progesterone during pregnancy can promote embryo implantation and also inhibit uterine contractions to maintain a normal pregnancy.
When the progesterone level is low during pregnancy, it will increase the risk of miscarriage and stillbirth, etc. For pregnant women with symptoms of preeclampsia, such as abdominal pain and vaginal bleeding, they should pay attention to proper rest as instructed by the doctor and be given progesterone and other medications to protect the fetus.
When the symptoms disappear or improve after active treatment, and the rechecks of progesterone, blood HCG (human chorionic gonadotropin) levels and ultrasound examinations are normal, the pregnancy can continue. However, if the levels of progesterone and HCG do not return to normal or decrease, and the ultrasound suggests that the embryo is underdeveloped, the pregnancy can be terminated promptly according to medical advice.
