The active ingredient is a female sex utrogestan progesterone, which detects changes in the female body during the second half of the menstrual cycle. The disadvantage of this hormone leads to infertility. And if not enough progesterone during pregnancy, it can cause a miscarriage.
The phases of the menstrual cycle
The menstrual cycle has two phases, progesterone and estrogen, but some clinicians are displayed in a separate phase of ovulation and then there are three phases.
Menstrual cycle begins with the first day of the next menstrual period - from that moment begins to ripen another egg in the ovary
. It matures under the influence of pituitary follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH)
. The egg matures in a special bubble - follicle cells which as they mature oocyte secrete more female hormones estrogen
. Under the influence of estrogen in a woman's body goes through many changes as in the uterus grows mucosa (endometrium)
. When the egg matures, the amount of estrogen is at its peak and this contributes to hormonal changes: the amount of FSH produced by the pituitary gland decreases, but begins to produce another hormone - luteinizing (LH), which under the influence of the follicle bursts and the egg is released from the ovary
. This process is called ovulation
. In the future, the egg enters the fallopian tube, where it may occur fertilization by sperm
.
Ovulation occurs in the middle of the menstrual cycle, day 14-16 in the 28-day cycle. After ovulation begins the second half of the menstrual cycle, when the "kingdom" progesterone
Progesterone - norm and pathology
. Progesterone is produced by the temporary endocrine gland corpus luteum, formed at the site of the ruptured follicle. The number at the beginning of progesterone increases, under his influence stops increase in the volume of the endometrium and it begins to produce a secret, which is necessary for the development of the fetus in case of pregnancy. But if pregnancy does not occur, the progesterone produced less, hormonal support is falling, and the mucous membrane of the uterus is torn away, which is accompanied by menstrual bleeding. On the same day begins the new oocyte maturation, ie beginning of a new menstrual cycle.
If any violations of the menstrual cycle is assigned utrozhestan
Utrozhestan assigned with diseases and conditions caused by deficiencies of progesterone in the second phase of the menstrual cycle. Such diseases include menstrual irregularities, infertility, and are accompanied by miscarriage. Miscarriage in deficiency of progesterone appears habitual abortion, as the progesterone in the normal course of pregnancy inhibits the contractile activity of uterine muscles and prevents potential miscarriages. In such cases, the capsule utrogestan enter deeply into the vagina twice a day at a daily dose of 200-400 mg, which is divided into two steps. Conduct such courses after ovulation. Calculate the day of ovulation in this case helps the doctor, he also will calculate the dose and duration of reception utrogestan.
Utrozhestan appointed and if the body produces too much estrogen - progesterone suppresses the production of estrogen. Such diseases breast

, Uterine fibroids, premenstrual syndrome and certain other conditions.
Infertility may be caused by hormonal deficiency, as in the second and in the first phase of the menstrual cycle, in such a case one speaks of total reduction of ovarian function. Ovarian failure may occur premature menopause. Substitution therapy is appointed in the absence of ovaries (for example, when removed), or if they are not functioning. In such cases designate as progesterone and estrogen.
Replacement therapy in women with non-functioning or ovariectomized performed during therapy with estrogen. Capsules progesterone thus inserted into the vagina in a specific pattern. When intravaginal administration utrozhestan
Utrozhestan - corrects the deficiency of progesterone
