Progesterone, also known as progesterone, is a steroid hormone mainly produced by the placenta and corpus luteum. The concentration of progesterone in the human body is closely related to the growth and degeneration of the corpus luteum. Progesterone can regulate some hormones secreted by the pituitary gland, affect the growth, development and function of reproductive organs, promote the growth and development of breasts, and increase basal body temperature. This indicator belongs to the progesterone test, which is a type of reproductive system hormone test. It is mainly used to understand whether there is ovulation, pregnancy, judge the function of the corpus luteum and placenta, and help to check for diseases such as threatened abortion and corpus luteum insufficiency.
