About This Test
Progesterone is a steroid hormone mainly produced by the corpus luteum in the ovaries after ovulation, and in smaller amounts by the adrenal glands (in both sexes) and the placenta during pregnancy.
It plays a vital role in:
1. Preparing the uterus for implantation of a fertilized egg
2. Maintaining pregnancy
3. Regulating menstrual cycles
4. Supporting normal breast development
In men, progesterone is produced in small amounts and helps balance other hormones like testosterone and cortisol.
