There are many side effects of progesterone injection in pregnant women. Now most women need to have children, which is related to the health of the fetus. Once the progesterone is found to be too low, the doctor will supplement the expectant mother with progesterone or protect the fetus with a progesterone needle. Let's look at the side effects of progesterone injection in pregnant women.
Side effects of progesterone injection in pregnant women 1 1. Side effects on pregnant women:
1, breast pain: Progesterone is a pregnancy-promoting drug, and the patient's breast will have pain under the action of progesterone, which can generally be recovered after stopping taking the drug;
2, body edema: Progesterone is a hormone drug, which may lead to water and sodium retention in pregnant women after use, which may lead to edema in patients, and some pregnant women may also have weight changes, often showing weight gain after using progesterone;
3, allergies: some pregnant women will have allergic reactions, such as itchy skin, rash and so on. Generally speaking, allergic reactions are very rare in clinic. If allergic reaction occurs, stop taking progesterone injection and seek medical attention as soon as possible;
4, gastrointestinal reaction: pregnant women may have nausea, no food, indigestion, bloating and so on. After taking progesterone injection. If the gastrointestinal reaction is strong, stop injection;
5, other effects: pregnant women may also have side effects such as depression, insomnia, drowsiness. These also need to be discovered in time.
Second, the side effects on the fetus:
1, Effect on fetal kidney: If pregnant women take a large dose of progesterone injection, it may lead to fetal renal pelvis dilatation and even renal adverse reactions such as hydronephrosis;
2, affecting the fetal reproductive system: if progesterone is used improperly, it may affect the development of fetal reproductive organs, such as the emergence of female fetal masculinity and male fetal reproductive organs malformation;
3, placental aging: if pregnant women take too much progesterone needle, it will lead to too much progesterone in the body, placental aging, which will lead to delayed pregnancy.
The side effects caused by progesterone injection during pregnancy vary greatly among individuals, so when there are side effects, you should explain the situation to the doctor in time and stop using it in time. It should also be noted that pregnant women with liver injury should be forbidden to take progesterone injection.
The side effect of progesterone injection in pregnant women is 2 1, which leads to birth defects. Many pregnant women who need progesterone supplements to protect their babies are caused by abnormal embryos. Generally speaking, this kind of embryos should be aborted due to insufficient progesterone secretion, but if progesterone is used to protect the fetus successfully at this time, these abnormal embryos with birth defects will survive, and the last born child is likely to have birth defects.
2, affecting the reproductive system of the fetus. The abuse of progesterone in early pregnancy will lead to abnormal development of fetal reproductive organs, leading to masculinity of female fetuses, and even organ abnormalities of male fetuses. The probability of reproductive organ tumors in female fetuses after puberty is high.
3. Excessive injection of progesterone into fetal kidneys during pregnancy may cause many male fetuses to suffer from renal pelvis malformation, even hydronephrosis and ureteral dilatation. It is very harmful to fetal health.
4. Abuse of progesterone in the third trimester of pregnancy will lead to high hormone levels in the body. Because progesterone can inhibit uterine contraction, it will lead to the appearance of overdue pregnancy.
There are many reasons for early pregnancy and abortion, 30% of which are due to insufficient luteal function. This situation can be protected by supplementing progesterone. However, if threatened abortion is caused by abnormal embryonic development, there is no need to protect the fetus. Because at this time, using progesterone to protect the fetus can not only improve the embryo development, but also lead to incomplete abortion or the chance of fetal residue after curettage, and also lead to diseases such as increased bleeding and infection, which is not worth the candle.
Therefore, pregnant women should follow the doctor's advice to prevent miscarriage, and never blindly prevent miscarriage. During the use of any medicine, you should strictly follow the doctor's advice. If you feel uncomfortable, you should go back to the hospital in time and adjust the medication to prevent accidents, aggravate the condition and delay the treatment opportunity. Find problems, treat them in time, develop good living habits, go to bed early and get up early, and keep a good mood.
Side effects of more progesterone injection in pregnant women 3. Taking progesterone injection can cause dizziness, headache, nausea, depression, breast pain and so on. Long-term application can cause endometrial atrophy, decreased menstrual flow, and prone to vaginal mold infection. Patients with liver disease cannot take it orally.
Progesterone is no longer recommended to treat threatened abortion in the world, especially in the early pregnancy. It is reported that using a large amount of progesterone in early pregnancy can increase the risk of fetal spine, anus, limbs and other parts by 8 times. If synthetic progesterone is used (for example, norethindrone is masculine), about 18% of female fetuses are masculine. It's unfortunate to have such an ending.
The use of progesterone to prevent miscarriage is very limited. Progesterone is a kind of progesterone, which is useful for threatened abortion caused by insufficient luteal secretion and progesterone deficiency. But first, we must find out whether it is progesterone deficiency. The deficiency can be determined by laboratory examination or basal body temperature measurement.
Those who really belong to luteal insufficiency can start injecting progesterone 3-4 days after the basal body temperature rises, and continue to use it for 9- 10 weeks until the mother can naturally secrete progesterone. There is no danger in using progesterone under normal conditions of progesterone deficiency. I hope you can correctly understand progesterone, the different factors of abortion and the prevention of abortion, and avoid doing bad things with good intentions.
Conditioning method of low progesterone
Clinically, it has been observed that women who have had fetal arrest usually have more normal six sex hormones, and there is no problem of luteal insufficiency. But after pregnancy, the progesterone value is too low to maintain a normal pregnancy. Even after taking Chinese and western medicines or injecting corresponding western medicines in time, abnormal pregnancies such as spontaneous abortion and fetal arrest still occur from time to time. This requires in-depth analysis from the physical aspect to find out the problem, rather than taking the examination results of western medicine instruments as the diagnosis basis.
Because many non-organic problems belong to functional problems, which cannot be detected by western medicine instruments, it is necessary to comprehensively analyze and differentiate symptoms and signs through experienced Chinese medicine, such as fatigue syndrome and menopausal syndrome. Only by adjusting one's physique before pregnancy, so that the viscera function is normal, the qi and blood are sufficient, and the internal environment is healthy, can the safety of pregnancy be guaranteed in the future. Even if progesterone is not ideal in the early stage after pregnancy, it will be normal after comprehensive conditioning, thus giving birth to children normally.
For expectant mothers with low progesterone during pregnancy, we must pay attention to it. We can use Chinese medicine to regulate, improve the mother's own factors, improve the phenomenon of progesterone deficiency, supplement the required nutrition, make the uterus nutritious, strengthen the placenta, inhibit uterine contraction, and better protect the healthy development of the fetus.
