Entering the luteal phase after ovulation: a critical time for women’s health

What is the luteal phase?

The luteal phase refers to the period starting on the 14th day of a woman’s menstrual cycle and ending on the 28th day of the menstrual cycle. During this time, the woman's ovaries continue to produce eggs, but instead of maturing and releasing them into the bloodstream, they are stored inside the ovaries until the next cycle.

The impact of the luteal phase on women’s health

1. Increase female fertility

During the luteal phase in women, the ovaries continue to produce eggs, and these eggs can be activated and mature, thereby increasing female fertility. If a woman successfully conceives within a few days of the end of the luteal phase, she will be more fertile.

2. Improve women’s skin

After a woman's luteal phase ends, her ovaries stop producing eggs, which causes the skin to become smoother and younger. This is because the skin is better cared for and repaired during this time.

3. Reduce pregnancy complications

If a woman becomes pregnant within a few days of the end of the luteal phase, she will reduce her risk of pregnancy complications such as gestational hypertension, gestational diabetes, and fetal malformations.

4. Increase women’s lifespan

After a woman's luteal phase ends, her ovaries stop producing eggs, which helps reduce damage to the woman's body. As a result, women can end their menstrual cycles in a shorter period of time, thus increasing their lifespan.

To sum up, the female luteal phase is an important period that has a profound impact on women’s health. Understanding and studying the basic knowledge of women’s luteal phase can help women better protect their health. If you have any questions about women's health, please talk to your doctor.
