High progesterone in men

Everyone knows that progesterone is a very important reference value for women during pregnancy. If the progesterone level in a woman's body is low, it is particularly easy to cause fetal stillbirth. In fact, progesterone also exists in men's bodies, and if the progesterone level in men is high, it will have a great impact on pregnancy. So this is not just a matter for female friends, so what is the reason for high progesterone in men?

What is the cause of high progesterone in men?

In addition to testosterone (T) secreted by the testicles, the normal male body also contains a small amount of estrogen (E2-estradiol) and progesterone (progesterone), which are both indispensable. This situation may be caused by diseases in the testicular area.

The normal value of male progesterone is 0.28-1.22. If you feel no discomfort in other aspects of your body, it should not be a big problem. If it is more than double the normal value, you should consider the possibility of pseudoandrogenism and pituitary tumor, and it is recommended to do chromosome and MRI examinations.

1. The growth of progesterone is slightly related to diet and mood. Check whether you have had any changes in these aspects recently. Check again after a period of time to determine whether you are born with high progesterone or if there are other changes causing it.

2. The possibility of pseudoandrogenesis and pituitary tumor should be considered, and chromosome and MRI examinations are recommended.

3. It is recommended to eat less greasy and spicy food, exercise regularly, drink plenty of water, pay attention to hygiene, urinate frequently, and have three meals a day.

4. It is recommended that you pay attention to keeping a good mood, eat less spicy food, rest on time, exercise properly, quit smoking, drinking and tea, eat more vegetables and fruits, reduce sexual life appropriately, and take Liuwei Dihuang Pills which nourish yin and tonify the kidney.

The role of progesterone in women

1. Blastocyst implantation. When a woman ovulates, the corpus luteum secretes progesterone. At this time, the endometrium has also shifted from the proliferative phase to the secretory phase. Progesterone can promote the development of the endometrium and make it easier for the embryo to implant.

2. Immune protection. Progesterone helps improve the body's immunity. Medical research has found that if there is a tumor in the uterus of an animal, after injecting progesterone hormone, the cells can more easily integrate into the uterus without being rejected. Therefore, it can be explained that during the pregnancy of a woman, as the secretion of progesterone increases, the fetus can be protected from rejection by the mother and the pregnancy can be maintained. Therefore, if the secretion of progesterone in a pregnant woman is too low, it is easy to cause miscarriage of the fetus.

3. Inhibit uterine contraction. Medical experiments have shown that progesterone can inhibit the contraction of the female uterus, but does not affect the development of the embryo, thereby maintaining pregnancy. Progesterone can change the permeability of the uterine muscle cell membrane to ions in the expectant mother's body, thereby reducing the degree of response of the uterus to various stimuli, and thus the effect of preserving the pregnancy is presented. Progesterone can also preserve the pregnancy, because the permeability of the uterine muscle cell membrane to ions will be affected and changed by it, thereby reducing the degree of stimulation of the uterus.

4. Others. For non-pregnant women, progesterone is a necessary substance to ensure normal physiological activities, such as maintaining the stability and regularity of menstruation.
