Does low progesterone injection cure abortion?

Many pregnant mothers are very worried when they find that their progesterone level is low during prenatal check-ups. In general, low progesterone can be compensated by taking or injecting progesterone, because low progesterone can easily cause miscarriage. So is the cure rate for miscarriage caused by low progesterone high through injections? Let's take a look together.

If it is not a hormone deficiency, excessive hormones will only have adverse effects on the fetus and pregnant women.

Doctors should understand that after pregnancy, HCG is secreted during the development of the chorionic villi, including the yolk sac and placenta. If the growth of HCG is normal, it indirectly indicates that the embryo is developing normally. If miscarriage occurs, it is not caused by hormone deficiency, but must be caused by other reasons (hormone deficiency is one of the many causes of miscarriage).

The progesterone secreted by the human body is metabolized very quickly. If the blood is not tested in time after being drawn, the test results will be inaccurate. How many hospitals can test blood immediately after being drawn (the blood is usually kept for at least one day!)? For some doctors, giving progesterone to pregnant women as a placebo is the simplest and safest method.

In fact, exogenous pregnancy-preserving drugs will work when the pregnant woman's own secretion is insufficient. If the embryo is abnormal (Down's syndrome or other chromosomal abnormalities), the embryo will also secrete insufficient hormones. If a large dose of exogenous hormones is used to preserve the pregnancy, the result is that the embryo that should have been aborted survives, and the outcome can be imagined.

Excessive progesterone can cause dilatation of the renal pelvis, even hydronephrosis, and genital abnormalities in many male fetuses, and genital tumors in female fetuses after puberty. Excessive HCG can also affect the results of Down syndrome screening during pregnancy (turning a high risk into a false low risk). Excessive progesterone can also affect the appetite of pregnant women and the metabolism of water in the body.

Therefore, if the progesterone level is low during miscarriage, you can take medication or injections under the guidance of a doctor, go to the hospital for a check-up after a week, and pay attention to rest.
