Conventional medicine plays an important role in treating all kinds of
disease and most of the time is the first treatment for a couple who for
what ever reason cam not conceive after 1 year of unprotected sexual
intercourse or can not carry the pregnancy to full term. With the
advance of medical technology, conventional medicine has proven record
in treating infertility but with some side effects. In this article, we
will discuss Progesterone : definition, effects, side effects and risk
of conventional medication in treating hormone imbalance.
1. Definition
Progesterone
is a type of hormone produced in our body in regulating the menstrual
cycle. Women body start to produce progesterone just before ovation in
order to make mucus friendly to sperm invasion. The rise of levels of
progesterone after ovulation helps to soften the uterine lining for
preparation of fertilized egg.
2. How progesterone supplement effects infertile women
Types
of medication specially used for women with luteal phrase deficiency
(lasts under 10 days and it is considered a luteal phase deficiency)
leading to increasing risk of abnormal development of uterine lining and
interfering with fertilized egg implantation.
a) Uterus Lining
The
rise of levels of progesterone by using progesterone supplement
increases the softness of the endometrium which is vital for egg
implantation. With enough progesterone, the endometrium is not soft
enough for the egg to attach to it, leading to early miscarriage.
b) Unfriendly to Sperm
It
helps to increase levels of progesterone just before ovulation that
stimulates the expansion of tiny glands in the endometrium leading to
production of uterine fluid which helps to nourish sperms and allow
sperm to travel to the Fallopian tube for egg fertilization. Deficiency
of progesterone causes sticky mucus which is hostile to sperm invasion.
c) Egg Movement
progesterone
supplement boost the levels of progesterone, because after
fertilization, the fertilized moves from the fallopian tube to the
uterine and ready for implantation. without enough levels of
progesterone, the uterine mucus may interfere with that movement,
leading to miscarriage.
4. Maintaining pregnancy
it helps the
levels of progesterone remain high during the last part of menstrual
cycle, if the pregnancy occurs, because it is vital for embryo
development. Deficiency during pregnancy causes abnormal development of
embryo resulting in miscarriage.
3. Side effects
Although progesterone helps to increase the chance of fertilization, it causes some side effect including
a) Blood clots in the lungs ( sudden shortness of breath) and legs, or even stroke ( blocking the blood circulation)
b) Chest pain.
c) Blurred vision.
d) Numbness or tingling in the arms or legs.
4. Risk
a) Breast cancer
b) Heart disease and strokes
Almost
100% of women who take these types of medication will ovulate, but not
all women will get pregnant. If a couple can not conceive after the
infertile female taking the treatment in their first 6 treatment than
the chance of pregnancy is reduced by 50%.
