Increasing
evidence suggests that reproductive factors unique to women are associated with
a greater risk of death from non-communicable diseases. Even if reproductive
events do not increase the risk of death from non-communicable diseases, they
could be useful as an early stress test of underlying risk...
Successful oocyte implantation and
a favorable pregnancy outcome rely on optimal progesterone levels. Therefore,
progesterone deficiencies associated with infertility and miscarriages have
commonly been treated with progestogens that mimic the activity of
progesterone.
Among those is dydrogesterone, an
oral retrosteroid with a structur...
