What to do if the endometrium is thin after abortion

Nowadays, many women have to have abortions for various reasons, which has a great impact on women's bodies. For example, many women will have thin endometrium after abortion. This will have a great impact on future fertility, and in severe cases it will lead to female infertility. Therefore, thin endometrium is particularly troublesome for many women. Let’s learn some relevant knowledge about thin endometrium.

01What causes thin endometrium?

In clinical practice, there are many types of infertility caused by endometrium, such as endometritis, endometrial thickening, thin endometrium, endometrial lesions, endometriosis, etc. Thin endometrium is clinically called thin endometrium. The normal thickness of the endometrium is 8-10mm, which is clinically considered to be the most suitable thickness for pregnancy. Too thin or too thick can easily affect the implantation of the fertilized egg.

1. Artificial abortion is the main factor causing thin endometrium.

Premarital sex is on the rise now, but our sex education has not kept up, resulting in an increase in unwanted pregnancies, and most people choose to have an abortion. It is well known that artificial abortion can cause a decrease in the thickness of the endometrium. Too many abortions will cause the endometrium to be less than 8mm, and infertility will follow.

What are the reasons for thin endometrium? Artificial abortion is the main factor

2. Severe endocrine disorder is another factor.

The endometrium, the layer that makes up the inner wall of the mammalian uterus, responds to both estrogen and progesterone and can therefore change dramatically during the sexual cycle. Estrogen can cause uterine hypertrophy, and progesterone can promote special changes in the endometrium in the early stages of pregnancy, or change the properties of the endometrium so that it has the ability to produce decidua. Therefore, severe endocrine disorders will lead to hormonal imbalance in the body, disrupt the cyclical changes of the endometrium, and cause thin endometrium.

02Is the endometrium important? It’s like barren land.

The endometrium is the membrane lining the uterus and is where the fertilized egg implants. If the endometrium is diseased, too thin or too thick, it can easily lead to infertility.

It is like a piece of soil (endometrium) and a seed (fertilized egg). If the soil is too poor (thin endometrium) or too fertile (thick endometrium), it will not be conducive to the germination and growth of the seed (implantation of the fertilized egg). When the fertilized egg cannot implant successfully, infertility occurs naturally. The importance of the uterus is self-evident.

03The endometrium is thin, so you need to pay attention to your daily health care

In addition to going to the hospital for specialized diagnosis and treatment in time, if the endometrium is thin, you should also pay attention to daily health care.

1. Mental aspect: You should maintain a stable and happy mood and avoid excessive mental stress. Relaxing is actually the most effective way to regulate your endocrine system, which is very important. Under the influence of good emotions, women can not only have better health, but also exude charming charm. Don't ignore this.

2. Physiological aspects: Keep warm during menstruation. You can place a heating pad or hot water bottle on your abdomen to accelerate blood circulation, relax muscles, relieve organ spasms, and promote the discharge of menstrual blood.

3. Exercise: Exercise can enhance physical fitness and is good for uterine health. Practicing yoga is the best way to maintain the uterus. Yoga can dredge the blood circulation of female organs and adjust the secretion of hormones.

4. Diet: Eat light food, avoid spicy and heavy foods, and quit smoking and drinking. Eat more blood-enriching and blood-activating foods, such as black beans, donkey-hide gelatin, black fungus, snow frog, soy milk, black-bone chicken, honey, walnuts, black sesame seeds, melon seeds, etc.

4. Suggestions for friends with thin endometrium.

Thin endometrium is a more difficult problem in infertility, and infertility caused by thin endometrium is also difficult to cure. So I remind female friends to do the following 3 points:

First, gynecological inflammation must be detected and treated early, and ascending infection of the inflammation must be avoided. Patients with thin endometrium are mostly women who have had multiple miscarriages, women with insufficient estrogen, and women who are weak due to long-term illness, so if you belong to this group of people, you should pay more attention.

Secondly, women who do not have a planned family plan should learn how to use contraception, and at the same time enhance their sexual knowledge and contraception common sense to avoid repeated damage to the endometrium. In addition, the thin endometrium caused by artificial abortion generally takes a long time to recover, and some patients may not even be able to recover. Therefore, patients are especially reminded that if their menstruation does not come on time after an abortion, they must see a doctor for examination.

Third, generally speaking, it is difficult to detect thin endometrium through routine gynecological examinations. Vaginal ultrasound (vaginal B-ultrasound) is usually used in clinical examinations. Therefore, when women experience symptoms of unexplained decrease in menstruation, they must go to a regular specialized reproductive center for examination, not just a gynecological center. General gynecological centers will not go deep into reproductive aspects.

After reading the above introduction to some knowledge about thin endometrium in women, I hope it can help everyone. If you also have thin endometrium after miscarriage, you can treat it according to some of the methods introduced above, especially paying attention to our daily care. You should pay attention to keeping your abdomen warm and do proper exercise, which will be helpful in treating thin endometrium.
