Insuficiencia luteínica

Nombres alternativos:

Fase luteínica inadecuada

Síntomas:

El principal síntoma son los ciclos menstruales cortos o irregulares.

Signos y exámenes:

Tradicionalmente, el estándar para diagnosticar una insuficiencia luteínica es una biopsia del endometrio . Sin embargo, la medición del nivel de progesterona en el suero sanguíneo se utiliza a menudo como medio de diagnóstico en lugar de la biopsia endometrial debido al dolor, dificultades para fechar el ciclo menstrual preciso y los gastos asociados con dicha biopsia.

Un nivel de progesterona en el suero sanguíneo de menos de 10ng/mL una semana antes de comenzar la menstruación o 7 días después de que surja la HL (hormona luteinizante) generalmente se acepta como diagnóstico de insuficiencia luteínica.
