The test for progesterone does not require fasting, as progesterone levels are not diet-related.
Progesterone is produced by the ovaries, the placenta and the adrenal cortex. The level of progesterone fluctuates with the menstrual cycle, and during the follicular phase the level of progesterone is very low. Along with the rupture of the mature follicle and the expulsion of the mature egg, the corpus luteum is formed in the ovary, and the corpus luteum of the ovary produces a large amount of progesterone.
From the source of progesterone, it is clear that progesterone levels are not related to diet. In addition, the value of progesterone in the body does not fluctuate significantly after diet, and there is no need for fasting when checking progesterone.
If there is a situation where the progesterone test appears abnormal, it is recommended to visit the hospital in time and treat accordingly under the guidance of the doctor.
