Progesterone Supplementation and Threatened Miscarriage: Antai Hospital

Threatened miscarriages are miscarriages that are about to take place but have yet to. It can be caused by an array of reasons but by far the most common form of threatened miscarriages is due to a hormonal imbalance, specifically the lack of Progesterone.

Progesterone insufficiency in the early stage of pregnancy is due to the insufficiency or defect of the Corpus Luteum. Before the full formation and maturation of the placenta by week 12-14, the corpus luteum situated in the ovaries is fully responsible for the secretion of the important pregnancy hormone: Progesterone. The placenta will eventually take over progesterone production and the corpus luteum will atrophy into the corpus albicans.

Progesterone’s 2 key functions during early pregnancy:

1. It functions to lower the sensitivity and contractility of the uterine smooth muscles, crucial for the stability of an early pregnancy.
2. It promotes the maturation of the embryonic trophoblasts during early embryogenesis.

Threatened miscarriages are accompanied by symptoms of vaginal bleeding or spotting with mild to severe abdominal pains, though it may not always be the case. However, if these symptoms are observed, it is recommended that the patient seek immediate medical attention. At this point, if diagnosed properly and early enough, the pregnancy can be preserved with the correct medical support. Any later, the fetus will be aborted spontaneously, causing a miscarriage.

Progesterone supplementation is the key management here. Supplementing is done according to whichever hormone (Progesterone) that is lacking and however much the patient is lacking. The hormonal supplementation not only follows a strict amount, but it also adheres to strict ratios; This amount varies from patient to patient and is calculated with a formula according to age, weight, height, and ethnicity of the patient.

Timely and sufficient supplementation of Progesterone can effectively halt the threatened miscarriage and preserve your pregnancy.
