Progesterone - a female sex hormone, which is called the pregnancy hormone. But it turns out that progesterone is present in men (it is produced by the adrenal glands and seminal vesicles of the testes), giving their body a significant impact. Lack or excess of progesterone effect on men's health.

Progesterone and its impact on the male body

Progesterone - female hormone that is secreted by the corpus luteum of the ovary, which is formed on the site of the ruptured follicle and the placenta during pregnancy. Progesterone provides hormonal support the second half of the menstrual cycle and pregnancy status. Additionally, in women and men secretes progesterone adrenal cortex, and in men - seminal vesicles, testes.

Because progesterone in the body synthesize certain hormones (e.g., cortisol, testosterone, etc.), it is involved in the central nervous system. Closer to 50 years in men increases the blood levels of female sex hormones estrogen, which helps to change the appearance of the figure of the female type and breast enlargement - gynecomastia. Progesterone in this case inhibits the action of estrogen, preventing such changes. Progesterone also inhibits the conversion of the male sex hormone testosterone into another type of hormone that promotes tissue growth of the prostate (prostatic hyperplasia).

Normal progesterone levels in men and strengthens bone tissue, prevents the development of prostate cancer, regulates water and salt, and carbohydrate metabolism, prevents the development of cardiovascular disease, a positive effect on the thyroid gland, restores sleep Dreams: how to understand our dreams .

The rate of progesterone in men for analysis: 0, 32-0, 64 nmol / L. A significant decrease or increase in this index may lead to changes in men.

Low levels of progesterone in the blood of men

Low levels of progesterone in the body reduces the male androgen male hormones that reduce libido and sexual performance of men. Under certain enzyme disorders lack of androgen can lead to the development of pseudohermaphroditism in men - underdevelopment of the male genital organs.

In addition, the lack of progesterone will contribute to the widening (hyperplasia) of the prostate tissue, as it is progesterone Progesterone - norm and pathology   He warned the process of conversion of testosterone to another hormone (DHT) that promotes prostate hyperplasia.

The level of progesterone decreases with a decrease in the function of the adrenal cortex (Addison's disease), against this background, the men develop impotence Impotence - a female perspective on the problem .

Reduction of progesterone in the blood contribute to: surgery to remove the pituitary gland, radiation therapy for cancer, chronic renal failure, diabetes mellitus Diabetes - threatening and incurable disease .

Reduced progesterone in the blood of men and when taking certain medications, such as certain antibiotics (ampicillin), antiepileptic drugs (carbamazepine), antiandrogenic agents (cyproterone acetate), inhibitors of production of pituitary gonadotropins (danazol), and others.

High levels of progesterone in the blood of men

High progesterone levels in men may occur when hormone producing tumors in organs that secrete progesterone - the adrenal glands and testes. The reason may also be congenital hyperplasia (overgrowth of tissue) of the adrenal glands, certain types of pituitary tumors, low thyroid function, a variety of injuries and diseases (eg, herpes zoster).

Increasing progesterone promotes medication: stimulators of the secretion of gonadotropins girofiza (clomiphene), pituitary hormones (corticotropin), certain antifungals (ketoconazole), progesterone and its synthetic analogues, antineoplastic drugs suppressing the secretion of female hormones estrogen (tamoxifen), and so on .

At a high content of progesterone in the blood of men (as well as low) significantly inhibited sexual desire. Previously, drugs that stimulate the secretion of progesterone, used to carry out a kind of chemical castration, aid to reduce sexual desire criminals.

If the level of progesterone for a long time is high, it can lead to a decrease in volume (atrophy) testis, disruption of the formation of sperm and infertility.

Progesterone - a female sex hormone. In men but it also plays a significant role.
