Hello everyone, I am Dr. Zeng of guangzhou Le Qisheng-Liu Xiangyuan fetal protection expert team. In the early stages of pregnancy, if low progesterone indicates a risk of threatened miscarriage, go to the hospital in time to find a doctor to protect the fetus. So how much does the general progesterone need to be protected after pregnancy?
Guangzhou fetal protection experts: how much progesterone to protect the fetus
What is progesterone?
Progesterone is a manifestation of progesterone, and it is also progesterone when examining progesterone in the body, especially in pregnancy, which generally needs to be supplemented by progesterone, because progesterone can inhibit the contraction of the uterus, which is the opposite of estrogen in the effect on the uterus, that is, progesterone has the effect of preserving the fetus.
Progesterone is usually checked at the time of early pregnancy, especially in patients with a history of previous miscarriages and fetal cessation, and the value of progesterone is checked during the first trimester to determine whether additional progesterone supplementation is required for fetal protection therapy.
What is the normal progesterone value for pregnancy?
At all stages of pregnancy, normal progesterone values are as follows:
The normal value of progesterone in early pregnancy is 10 to 44 ng/ml, or 32.6 to 140 nmol/L.
The normal progesterone value in the second trimester is 19.5 to 82.5 ng/ml or 62 to 262 nmol/L.
The normal progesterone value in the third trimester of pregnancy is 65 to 290 ng/ml or 206.7 to 728 nmol/L.
Changes in progesterone levels are an important measure of whether luteal function and placental development are normal. However, the progesterone value is not constant in the body, and the measured values are not exactly the same at different times.
If progesterone is lower than normal during pregnancy and shows a downward trend, it may be a sign of fetal arrest and miscarriage.
How much progesterone does it need to be breast-protected during pregnancy?
In the early stages of pregnancy, when the progesterone content ≤ 15ng/ml, it is necessary to protect the fetus. If the progesterone of pregnant women during pregnancy is too low, it will affect the health of pregnant women and the fetus in the body.
At present, for pregnant women with low progesterone, progesterone is usually used to increase the amount of progesterone in pregnant women, so as to achieve the effect of fetal preservation.
Progesterone has the function of improving the immunity of pregnant women's bodies, while keeping the amount of progesterone secretion within the normal level range, which can protect the fetus from maternal rejection and maintain a normal pregnancy in pregnant women.
During pregnancy, pregnant women should eat more high-protein, high-vitamin, high-fiber foods, and eat more eggs, lean meats and soy products. Pay more attention to rest every day, avoid fatigue, and help your baby develop smoothly.
