This study evaluated combination therapy for luteal phase deficiency, finding it increased corpus luteum diameter and significantly raised estrogen and progesterone levels, restoring cyclic events and endometrial rearrangement.

Abstract

Luteal phase deficiency (LPD) is described as a condition of insufficient progesterone exposure to maintain a regular secretory endometrium and allow for normal embryo implantation and growth. There is evidence that both follicular and luteal phase abnormalities can result in LPD cycles. The aim of this randomized prospective noncomparative study is to evaluate the effectiveness of combination therapy in patients with LPD. This prospective study included 35 women of the reproductive age. They were diagnosed with the LPD with sonographically and laboratory-verified methods. The age of patients was 36 ± 0.46 years. The results of the study sonographically demonstrated an increase in the diameter of the corpus luteum from 1.36 ± 0.32 (initially) to 2.16 ± 0.21 mm after combination therapy. In addition, there was a statistically significant increase in the level of estrogens and progesterone in the corresponding phases of the menstrual cycle. Thus, the combination therapy for patients with LPD contributes to the recovery of cyclic events in the hypothalamic-pituitary-gonadal system, which determines the restoration of the endocrine function of the ovaries and promotes adequate secretory rearrangement of the endometrium in women of reproductive age.
