What does high LH and low progesterone mean

High LH value refers to high luteinizing hormone and high luteinizing hormone but low progesterone. Abnormal values of these two values are commonly seen in polycystic ovary syndrome, menopausal syndrome, anovulatory dysfunctional uterine bleeding and other diseases.
1. Polycystic ovary syndrome: low progesterone due to high androgen, increased sensitivity of pituitary gland to gonadotropins and excessive secretion of luteinizing hormone.
2. Menopausal syndrome: in this period, due to luteal dysfunction, there will be a decrease in progesterone; and gonadotropin-releasing hormone increases, which stimulates the pituitary gland and leads to an increase in luteinizing hormone.
3. Anovulatory dysfunctional uterine bleeding: immature hormonal feedback regulation during puberty may result in low progesterone, while defective estrogen feedback from the brain center may result in elevated anovulatory luteinizing hormone.
If the test result is abnormal, it is recommended to consult a doctor in time, follow the doctor’s instructions to further improve the relevant examinations, clarify the cause under the doctor’s guidance, and carry out targeted treatment or therapy.
