Description
Summary:This concise report deals with the known effects of progestogen lack in early pregnancy with failure of implantation and blood supply to the placenta depending on proper trophoblast invasion, spiral artery remodeling, and vessel dilatation. The pathophysiology of preeclampsia will be outlined and the most recent data on the effect of dydrogesterone presented.

The effect is related to begin with such prevention and this should be continued until 37th weeks of gestation which would also mean prevention of premature labor.
