Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Progesterone plays a crucial role in maintaining the endometrium in preparation for implantation of a fertilized egg. Hyposecretion of progesterone can lead to the inability to maintain the endometrium, as in the case of luteal phase deficiency.

Answer: B
 Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is associated with hypersecretion of androgen hormones and insulin, which can disrupt the balance of estrogen and progesterone. This can lead to irregular menstrual cycles, anovulation, and infertility.

Note: There is no direct link between progesterone hypersecretion or hyposecretion and galactorrhea or precocious puberty.
