Progesteron a pryszcze - Prawda czy mit?
Associated Conditions
Low progesterone levels are associated with certain issues, such as:
- Absent periods (known as amenorrhea)
- Infertility
- Miscarriage
If you have problems getting pregnant, your healthcare provider can check your progesterone levels with a blood test. Recent studies suggest that progesterone supplements may help prevent miscarriages.
Mood and Energy Levels
Estrogen and progesterone interact with chemicals in your brain to control your mood and your general sense of well-being.
One way progesterone does this is via its metabolite, a compound known as allopregnanolone.
This can be beneficial and it may make you feel sleepy or a little low energy right before your period. It also contributes to fatigue that's common during the early part of pregnancy.
For some people, the luteal phase rise in progesterone can cause varying degrees of anxiety and agitation. It is thought that this reaction is caused by a disruption in the processing of allopregnanolone.
Birth control pills
Birth control pills, also known as oral contraceptives or hormonal contraceptives, make use of progesterone.
Combination pills contain both estrogen and progestin.
- Preventing ovulation
- Changing the lining of the womb to prevent a pregnancy from developing
- Thickening the mucus at the cervix to prevent sperm from entering
Progestin-only hormonal methods include mini-pills, implants, and shots.
- Prevent the ovaries from releasing an egg
- Thicken the mucus at the cervix to prevent sperm entering the uterus
The United States National Library of Medicine warn that cigarette smoking significantly increases the risk of serious side effects in those who use oral contraceptives. They advise smokers not to use oral contraceptives.
Progesteron i kontracepcija
Progesteron vam takođe može pomoći da izbegnete trudnoću.
Oblik progesterona, koji se zove progestin, koristi se u kombinaciji sa estrogenom u hormonskoj kontracepciji kao što su pilule za kontrolu rađanja, vaginalni prstenovi i flaster za kožu.
Progesteron se takođe koristi za kontrolu rađanja sam u obliku tableta i injekcija. Druge vrste kontracepcije koje sadrže samo progestin uključuju implantat za kontrolu rađanja i hormonski intrauterini uređaj (IUD).
Ovi oblici kontracepcije štite žene od trudnoće zahvaljujući sledećim radnjama:
- Uzrokuje zgušnjavanje sluzi u grliću materice, što otežava spermi da stigne do materice i oplodi jaje
- Zaustavljanje ovulacije
- Stanjivanje sluzokože materice
Razgovarajte sa svojim doktorom o tome koja metoda je najbolja za vas.
Pilule za kontrolu rađanja koje sadrže samo progestin
Takođe se nazivaju “mini-pilule” i one mogu izazvati sledeće neželjene efekte:
- Glavobolje
- Mučnina
- Nežnost dojke
- Nedosledno krvarenje, kao što je uopšte ne krvarenje, kratki ciklusi krvarenja, pojavu mrlja ili teško krvarenje
Žene sa lupusom ili one koje imaju ličnu istoriju raka dojke ne bi trebalo da uzimaju ovaj oblik kontracepcije.
Vaginalni prstenovi
Ovaj mali prsten (NuvaRing) se ubacuje u vašu vaginu. NuvaRing sadrži estrogen i progestin. Obložen je segesteron acetatom, novim oblikom progestina, i etinil estradiolom ili estrogenom. NuvaRing je kombinacija hormonalne kontrole kontracepcije koja polako oslobađa malu dozu sintetičkog estrogena (oko 0,015 mg dnevno) i etonogestrel (0,12 mg dnevno) kako bi vas zaštitio od trudnoće
tokom mesec dana. Oslobađanje hormona se aktivira kontaktom sa vaginom.
Progesterone and progestin: How do they work?
Progesterone is the main pro-gestational steroid hormone secreted by the female reproductive system. It is linked to the menstrual cycle, pregnancy, and development of an embryo. Progestin is an artificial form of progesterone that is used for medical purposes.
The ovaries, placenta, and adrenal glands produce progesterone to regulate the condition of the endometrium, which is the inner lining of the uterus.
Progesterone is a steroid and a hormone. It has some important roles, particularly in the process of reproduction.
The corpus luteum is a temporary endocrine, or hormone-producing, gland that forms from the empty ovarian follicle after ovulation.
If fertilization does not occur, the corpus luteum breaks down, less progesterone is produced, and the levels of progesterone are too low to promote the growth of the uterine wall. As the lining of the womb is no longer maintained by progesterone from the corpus luteum, the lining breaks away, resulting in menstrual bleeding.
If conception occurs, progesterone stimulates the further development of blood vessels in the endometrium, and it stimulates glands in the endometrium to secrete nutrients that nourish the fertilized egg.
Progesterone prepares the tissue lining of the uterus to so that the fertilized egg can be implanted. Progesterone also helps to preserve the endometrium throughout pregnancy.
After conception, the placenta forms. The placenta begins to secrete progesterone to supplement, and surpass, the progesterone already secreted by the corpus luteum.
Levels of progesterone from the placenta remain high during pregnancy. This prevents other eggs from maturing, and it promotes changes in breast tissue to prepare for lactation.
Progesterone levels drop consistently just before the menopause. This is thought to be the major cause of symptoms experienced around the menopause.
Progesterone Supplements
Supplemental progesterone that's made from natural or synthetic sources can be prescribed for a variety of reasons ranging from pregnancy support to contraception.
Methods for supplementing progesterone include:
- Tablets that are taken by mouth
- Shots into a muscle, known as intramuscular injections
- Vaginal gels or suppositories (medication inserted into the vagina)
Progesterone is rapidly cleared from the body when given by mouth, which makes it difficult to use progesterone this way, especially if it is needed only in smaller doses.
Micronized progesterone, which is decreased in particle size for longer effect, can be taken in some instances. It may be prescribed as part of a menopausal hormone replacement regime or to restore periods if you stopped getting periods before menopause.
Progestins, medications that have similar properties to progesterone, provide an option that can be effective when taken by mouth.
For Pregnancy After IVF
For some women, it may be necessary to take supplemental progesterone during pregnancy.
If you conceived with the help of in vitro fertilization (IVF), you might not ovulate naturally and your corpus luteum may not produce enough progesterone.
Your healthcare provider may recommend some type of progesterone support either in the form of a vaginal gel or suppository, tablet, or injections until about 10 to 12 weeks of pregnancy.
Supplemental progesterone may also be used during IVF or intrauterine insemination (IUI) to help promote pregnancy.
For Preterm Labor Prevention
If you have a history of preterm delivery and/or preterm premature rupture of membranes in a previous pregnancy, you may be a candidate to use progesterone injections to try to prevent another preterm birth.
These are weekly injections of a specific type of progesterone that usually begin at 16 to 24 weeks and continue through 36 weeks of pregnancy.
