Before Sajie wrote a lot of strange circle of friends rumors, so that some people said:
Sister Sa, why are there so many strange things in your circle of friends?
Once, I felt the same way, of course, I will not delete because I want to pay attention to the escalation of these rumors in real time, and then, I found that many sisters' circle of friends is more bizarre than that of Sajie.
For example, the message received by this girl the day before yesterday:
There are many rumors to dispel, and this kind of sassy sister knows what kind of routine this is at a glance:
Irregular menstruation? Are you still playing progesterone? Doctors won't tell you: once progesterone ovaries are five years old!
Fork fork brand goddess private care, professional conditioning of women's problems, away from hormones, guard women's health, let you pink and tight menstrual regularity can also treat a variety of cancers bad breath infertility husband night and night directly call can not stand the wife hello awesome ...
Coupled with various symbols and expressions, it is not a proper circle of friends brainwashing copywriting!
The question is, you are so rumor-mongering, don't say that the old is five years old, people's progesterone and ovaries are going to die of gas, okay?
Sister Sa didn't want to spit out this kind of low-level words:
You say five years old is five years old? Who told you that? Did the ovaries tell you that it had a birthday on what day of the month?
A single progesterone can hit the older five years old, what about research? What about literature?
How old are the ovaries and how to define them?
How many people were sampled? How much progesterone was used?
It is estimated that even the progesterone is not known, and it ran out to spread rumors!
Come, let Sister Sa teach you!
1. What exactly is progesterone?
Progesterone (progesterone), also known as progesterone, is also called progesterone, which mainly comes from the female ovarian luteal body, which is the main progesterone secreted by the ovaries with biological activity.
The amount of progesterone secreted changes with the menstrual cycle. Before ovulation, the amount of progesterone hormone produced per day is 2 to 3 mg, and after ovulation, it rises to 20 to 30 mg per day.

As a progesterone progesterone can protect the endometrium of women, progesterone is very important during pregnancy, because it needs to provide support and protection for the early growth and development of the fetus, and can play a certain calming effect on the uterus.
Estrogen and progesterone can be said to be two hormones that are very important for women, of which the role of estrogen is mainly to promote the development and maturity of female secondary sex characteristics, and progesterone hormone is based on the action of estrogen, further promote the development and maturity of secondary sex characteristics, and there is a synergy between the two.
Second, so what are progesterones generally used for?
Most women have heard of the term progesterone, even if they are unfamiliar with it. Many people have also used it, such as using it to induce menstruation, menstrual regulation, and even fetal preservation.

Progesterone is often used for women who do not menstruate, but are not pregnant, they often have a certain level of estrogen in the body, but the level of progesterone is not enough, so that we can use progesterone to make the endometrium from hyperplasia to secretion, and then stop the drug to appear withdrawal bleeding.
It is also sometimes used to diagnose the cause of amenorrhea, or to test for pregnancy.
In the application of menstrual regulation, progesterone is often used in combination with estrogen to help stabilize and adjust the menstrual cycle of women, for young women, progesterone can continue to thicken, hyperemic, and progesterone can continue to thicken, hyperemic, and branch out of the uterine lining on the basis of hormone action after ovulation, which is conducive to the adjustment of the menstrual cycle, or conducive to the implantation and embryonic development of pregnant eggs.
Because as a progesterone, progesterone can reduce the excitability of the uterus during pregnancy, inhibit uterine contractions, relax smooth muscle, and reduce the sensitivity of the uterus to oxytocin, so that the fetus can grow safely, so progesterone is also one of the drugs commonly used in the treatment of spontaneous preterm birth.

For menopausal women, progesterone is a commonly used hormone supplement drug for women with menopausal syndrome, because of ovarian aging, decline in secretory function, menopausal women tend to feel hot flashes, irritability, vaginal dryness, insomnia and other problems.
The most common method for these problems is hormone replacement therapy, but if no antagonistic estrogen therapy is used, it can lead to endometrial hyperplasia and cancer after only 6 months!
Therefore, we generally recommend that women who have not undergone hysterectomy should add progesterone. Women who have had their uterus removed should not use progesterone. The use of progesterone, whether taken orally or percutaneously, is effective in preventing endometrial cancer.
Moreover, such hormone therapy regimens, as well as their long-term benefits, can prevent osteoporosis caused by excessive loss of bone minerals, and also help protect brain function, at least delaying the onset of naturally occurring senile dementia.
It is such a progesterone drug that can be used to help women delay aging, and I did not expect to be smeared as the culprit of "one hit can make the ovaries age for five years", this kind of malicious rumors, a serious nonsense, your conscience really will not hurt?
Of course, progesterone as a progestin, is not their own random use, do not care whether it is oral, or injection, or patches, gels, etc., need to be applied under the guidance of a doctor, otherwise it is likely to lead to the disorder of hormone levels in the body.
As for the misunderstanding that progesterone is regarded as a gynecological "panacea" and "as soon as you are pregnant, you must quickly supplement progesterone", Sajie will write another article in return.
If you hear the word "hormone", you think that it is the culprit that disturbs people's health, and even as soon as you hear "it is a drug three poisons", you are immediately frightened not to listen to the doctor's advice, but to believe those rumors that have no scientific basis, just to deceive people and scare people, then in the end, you are likely to lose more than money!
There is a saying that Sister Sa has said no less than eight hundred times, that is:
If you are sick, please honestly go to the hospital to see a doctor, the so-called "conditioning" is not "treatment"!
And people who are not sick are already good, and they don't need all kinds of divine "conditioning"!
With this spare time, it is better to put energy and money on regular work and rest, balanced diet, eat more good things, do a fitness card, even if you buy two more books to see, at least you can get spiritual food to nourish the brain, instead of spending money, buying a bunch of useless things, even if there is nothing wrong with it, and then use some problems for yourself, it will be too late to regret it!
