Progesterone, Serum Test Overview

What is the PROGESTERONE, SERUM Test?

The Progesterone, Serum Test measures the level of progesterone, a key hormone in the female reproductive system. Progesterone plays a vital role in regulating the menstrual cycle, preparing the uterus for pregnancy, and supporting early pregnancy. Measuring progesterone levels can help assess ovarian function, evaluate fertility issues, and monitor the health of pregnancy.

Low progesterone levels may indicate irregular ovulation, risk of miscarriage, or hormonal imbalance, while high levels may be seen during pregnancy or after ovulation. This test is particularly helpful for women experiencing irregular periods, difficulty conceiving, recurrent pregnancy loss, or for monitoring progesterone therapy.

By understanding progesterone levels, doctors can make informed decisions regarding fertility treatments, hormone therapy, or other interventions to support reproductive health. Early detection of abnormalities allows for timely medical guidance and reduces potential complications.
