Although pregnancy is a matter exclusive to women, the process of conception is not solely the responsibility of women. Therefore, pregnancy is a matter for both men and women, and women's physical mechanisms need to be healthy. Similarly, men's bodies also need to be healthy in order for women to conceive smoothly. So what is the reason for high progesterone in men?
The normal range for male progesterone is 0.28-1.22. If men do not feel uncomfortable or have any adverse reactions, their bodies generally do not have any problems. But if the normal level of progesterone in males is twice or more than the normal range, it should be considered that they may have pituitary gland tumor disease. At this time, they should go to the hospital for chromosome and MRI examinations.
High levels of progesterone in males may be related to diet, mood, and daily routine. If there is significant emotional fluctuation or abnormal excitement, the body will secrete a large amount of progesterone hormone, resulting in high progesterone levels. Therefore, one should have a regular schedule, exercise appropriately, have a balanced diet, eat less or no spicy and stimulating foods, and control the frequency of sexual activity.
High levels of male progesterone may also be related to a decrease in the secretion of gonadotropins by the hypothalamus. A decrease in gonadotropins can lead to a decrease in the secretion of luteinizing hormone by the pituitary gland. A decrease in luteinizing hormone can affect the development of interstitial cells in the seminiferous tubules, thereby reducing the secretion of testosterone and increasing the proportion of estrogen in the body.
