Progesterone

Function and Efficacy

Progesterone is a natural progestogen secreted by the corpus luteum of the ovary. It has a significant morphological effect on the endometrium stimulated by estrogen in the body and is necessary to maintain pregnancy. 1. In the late menstrual cycle, it causes the glands in the uterine mucosa to grow, the uterus to become congested, and the endometrium to thicken, preparing for the implantation of the fertilized egg. After the fertilized egg is implanted, it causes the placenta to form, reduces the excitability of the pregnant uterus, inhibits its activity, and allows the fetus to grow safely. 2. Under the combined action of estrogen, it promotes full breast development in preparation for milk production. 3. It closes the cervical opening, reduces and thickens the mucus, making it difficult for sperm to penetrate; in large doses, it inhibits the secretion of pituitary gonadotropin through negative feedback on the hypothalamus, producing an inhibitory effect on ovulation. This product reaches its peak blood concentration after 1 to 3 hours of oral administration. It is inactivated due to rapid metabolism, so it is generally administered by injection, but sublingual or vaginal or rectal administration is also effective. 4. It is rapidly absorbed through the vaginal mucosa, and the blood concentration reaches its peak after 2 to 6 hours. It is mainly used clinically for habitual abortion, dysmenorrhea, excessive menstrual bleeding or metrorrhagia, amenorrhea, etc. Oral administration of large doses is also used for diseases caused by progesterone deficiency, such as premenstrual syndrome, menstrual disorders caused by cessation of ovulation, benign breast disease, premenopause and menopause, etc. Vaginal administration can replace oral administration, especially for patients with liver disease.
