Corpus Luteum Insufficiency and Premature Ovarian Insufficiency
Premature ovarian insufficiency (POI) is one of the primary causes of corpus luteum insufficiency. It can also lead to recurrent miscarriage if left untreated. Antai Hospital offers contractual recurrent miscarriage treatment with a full refund policy.
Premature Ovarian Insufficiency (POI) is when the ovaries of women below the age of 40 begin to produce insufficient amounts of estrogen.
The two main characteristics of POI are:
- The oocytes produced from the ovaries are not fully matured and developed, leading to high risks of fetal demise or early miscarriages after fertilization.
- The thinning of the endometrium causing difficulty in the implantation of the embryo.
The causes of POI include:
- Early-onset menopause
- Dysfunctional or unresponsive ovaries
- Ovarian damages caused by ovariectomy
How does Premature Ovarian Insufficiency Cause Corpus Luteum Insufficiency?
Clinically speaking, these two conditions are closely linked. Premature ovarian insufficiency happens when the ovaries stop functioning normally and produces low levels of estrogen. Because the oocytes are released before they are fully matured and developed, the remaining tissue (the corpus luteum) will be left underdeveloped as well.
This directly leads to corpus luteum insufficiency, where the corpus luteum itself is not fully matured and does not produce enough progesterone for:
- Thickening of the endometrium
- The sustain of pregnancies.
Corpus Luteum Insufficiency can lead to fetal demise, early recurrent miscarriage, and eventually, recurrent immunological miscarriage.
What are the treatments for both Premature Ovarian Insufficiency and Corpus Luteum Insufficiency?
- For the treatment of POI:
Antai Hospital provides a contraceptive treatment that can help restore normal ovarian function. It can also boost the oocyte storage capabilities of the ovaries to prevent premature release. Find out more about POI here.
- For the treatment of Corpus Luteum Insufficiency:
Your Corpus Luteum Insufficiency will recover if POI has been treated.
If you have not yet recovered from corpus luteum insufficiency after treatment POI, there may be other factors (multi-factor) such as PCOS, Endometriosis, teratoma, hyperthyroidism, hypothyroidism and pelvic adhesions involved that are causing Corpus Luteum Insufficiency.
