Many people believe that progesterone capsules are a common contraceptive medication, and that if the fetus has any symptoms, progesterone capsules can be used. However, this idea is incorrect! Although progesterone capsules can relax uterine muscles, weaken the uterus's ability to respond to the outside world during pregnancy, and allow fertilized eggs to develop and grow better in the uterus. So, what are the side effects of progesterone capsules?
Progesterone capsules are generally natural and do not cause masculinization of the female fetus. Male masculinization of the female fetus generally refers to the previously used progesterone acetate, so there is no need to worry. Its side effects are generally nausea and vomiting. It is necessary for the first three months, as its function is to increase progesterone levels. Progesterone promotes fetal implantation, and the placenta gradually forms after three months; The second is to ensure that the uterus is in a calm state, which is beneficial for fetal development.
Progesterone capsules have side effects. Injecting progesterone may occasionally cause nausea, dizziness, headache, fatigue, measles, breast swelling, long-term continuous use may result in reduced or absent menstruation, abnormal liver function, edema, weight gain, etc. It is no longer recommended internationally to use progesterone to treat threatened miscarriage, especially in early pregnancy. According to reports, the use of large amounts of progesterone in early pregnancy can increase the risk of fetal deformities in the spine, anus, limbs, and other areas by 8 times. If artificially synthesized progesterone (such as norgestrel, which has a masculinizing effect) is used, about 18% of female fetuses become masculinized. It is unfortunate that such an outcome occurred. In addition, taking progesterone may cause dizziness, headache, nausea, depression, breast tenderness, and other symptoms. Long term use can lead to endometrial atrophy, reduced menstrual flow, and increased risk of vaginal fungal infections. Liver disease patients cannot take it orally.
Progesterone is useful for threatened miscarriage caused by insufficient corpus luteum secretion and progesterone deficiency. And it can also treat menstrual disorders in some women, or naturally promote pregnancy and ovulation. However, it should be noted that the side effects of progesterone capsules should not be used in early pregnancy, as they can pose a threat to the mother's body and the baby in her womb. Timely progesterone is beneficial for the development of the baby, and pregnant mothers should not use it casually. Before use, they must consult a doctor and use it under their strict guidance.
