What are the symptoms of corpus luteum insufficiency? What are the effects of corpus luteum insufficiency?

Insufficient corpus luteum can lead to infertility in women, and even if they get pregnant, they are prone to miscarriage. So, in general, what are the symptoms of insufficient corpus luteum in women? Women also ask what impact will insufficient corpus luteum have on their own pregnancy? What issues should women with insufficient corpus luteum pay attention to in their lives?

Symptoms of corpus luteum insufficiency

1. The menstrual cycle is normal, but the period is prolonged, which can be up to 9-10 days or even longer, but the amount is not too much. That is, 2-3 days after the menstruation is over, the vagina will drip again.

2. Secretion of brown discharge. During the days when there is such discharge in the vagina, there will be dull pain in the left lower abdomen, as if there is a blockage in the flow of air.

3. Some women may experience ovulation bleeding (a small amount of bleeding between two menstrual periods) and lower abdominal pain.

4. The basal body temperature is biphasic but decreases slowly, and often has not dropped to the normal proliferation level during the menstrual period (the body temperature during the menstrual period is still in the high temperature period).

Effects of luteal insufficiency

Insufficient corpus luteum can lead to poor follicular development, incomplete corpus luteum formation, and an imbalance in the ratio of estrogen and progesterone secreted by the corpus luteum itself. The main effects of insufficient corpus luteum function in women are as follows:

1. Infertility. If a woman has corpus luteum insufficiency or premature corpus luteum atrophy, it will cause the endometrium to shed prematurely, reducing the chance of fertilized eggs implanting, and ultimately leading to infertility.

2. Early miscarriage and habitual miscarriage. Because the corpus luteum is incomplete, it cannot secrete enough progesterone, which is very dangerous for pregnant women. It is difficult to maintain pregnancy, which will cause miscarriage in women.

Notes on corpus luteum insufficiency:

Keep a happy spirit, avoid mental stimulation and mood swings. Some people may experience lower abdominal distension, back pain, breast pain, mild diarrhea, fatigue, drowsiness, emotional instability, irritability or depression during the menstrual period. These are all normal and there is no need to be overly nervous.

Pay attention to hygiene and prevent infection. Pay attention to the hygiene of the external genitalia. Do not have sexual intercourse during menstruation. Keep warm and avoid cold stimulation. Avoid overwork. People with heavy menstrual bleeding should avoid eating brown sugar.

Underwear should be soft, made of cotton, with good ventilation and breathability. It should be washed and changed frequently, and the changed underwear should be dried in the sun.

It is not advisable to eat raw, cold, sour, spicy and other irritating foods, drink more boiled water, and keep the bowels open. People with hot blood should eat more fresh fruits and vegetables before menstruation, and avoid eating onions, garlic, leeks, ginger and other things that stimulate fire.
