Progesterone is a sex hormone that is secreted through the yellow particle (Corpus Luteum) in the ovaries after ovulation. It is responsible for thickening the mucous membrane of the uterus before pregnancy. Hence, this hormone is secreted in the last two weeks of the menstrual cycle. In some cases, the activity of the particle may not be sufficient, leading to a lack of progesterone necessary for pregnancy. These conditions are common in cases of extra-fertilized pregnancies or even natural fertilization in patients with fertility problems, who are treated with an inhibitory treatment of the ovary, so they need to be supplied with progesterone supplements, so that progesterone is supplied in such cases To support pregnancy stability. Most progesterone supplements, which are used to support pregnancy, are not preferred by mouth, due to poor absorption of relative hormones by the digestive system. Most of these treatments are supplied through the vagina because of their good absorption.
In addition to vaginal use, there are devices that are used orally as a treatment for the problems resulting from lack of this hormone, such as: premenstrual syndrome, lack of menstruation, uterine bleeding, endometrial hyperplasia, and menopause (in conjunction with Estrogen). These treatments are available in a variety of ways: vaginal gel (Crinone), vaginal tablets (Endometrin), injection of muscle (Geston) and capsules thin for vaginal or oral use (Uterogestan).
Because of these multiple treatments, the risk of blood clotting, stroke, heart attack, and breast cancer may increase. Women with a history of stroke or blood clotting, blood circulation problems, severe liver problems, hormonal tumors (breast or uterine cancer) and unexplained uterine bleeding are not allowed to use these treatments.
