Causes of thinning of the endometrium after ovulation

When pregnancy is achieved, the mood is all the same and happy, but when pregnancy is not achieved, there are various reasons. Among them, the “poor” uterine wall of women is a major cause of infertility and miscarriage. It is said that pregnancy is like planting soybeans. Having seeds requires fertile soil to allow them to take root and sprout successfully. The endometrium of a woman's uterus is the farmland, and its quality directly affects the success of test tube embryo implantation. So what is the reason why the endometrium becomes soft after ovulation?

Ultrasound test is less than 7mm, indicating that the uterine wall is thin

The sperm and egg cell meet and fuse to form a test tube embryo, which must implant in the uterus, which is called landing. However, a uterine wall that is too weak will prevent the embryo from implanting in the test tube, thus reducing the chance of pregnancy. Even if the embryo implants and becomes pregnant, the probability of miscarriage in women will be relatively high because the soil is barren and cannot provide good nutrition to the test tube embryo.

How do I know if my uterine wall is thin? A test must be done, which is a B-ultrasound test. When should this inspection be done?

The thickness of women's endometrium is affected by the menstrual cycle and is not constant. Under normal circumstances, the uterine wall is thicker during ovulation. For example, if the menstrual cycle is 28 days, then the 14th day is the ovulation period. If the endometrial thickness measured by ultrasound during this ovulation period is less than 7mm, it indicates that the uterine wall is thin. If the first B-ultrasound found that the uterine wall is lower than 7mm, it is recommended to repeat the ultrasound during the next menstrual ovulation period to facilitate diagnosis.

For successful pregnancy, the thickness of women's endometrium is more suitable at 7-8mm. Women with regular menstruation, who do not have scanty menstruation, amenorrhea, or a history of miscarriage, are generally not prone to thin uterine walls. On the other hand, women with menstrual disorders need to be careful.

3 major culprits that cause the uterine wall to soften

Reason 1: Low female hormone levels

The thickness of the endometrium changes every month with the menstrual cycle, which is due to the buffering effect of estrogen metabolized by the uterus and ovaries. Estrogens are mainly estrogen and oestrogen. When these two female hormones decrease or there is ovulation disorder, it can cause the uterine wall to soften.

For thin uterine wall caused simply by endocrine factors, the thickness of the endometrium can be gradually restored to normal levels through estrogen treatment under the guidance of a doctor.

Reason 2: Long-term negative emotional stimulation

It is said that women are emotionally unstable animals, and many ladies are prone to mood swings. Negative emotions have a profound impact on all aspects of the human body. Long-term anxiety and anxiety can cause endocrine imbalance. Endocrine imbalance will inevitably affect estrogen levels, which will also affect the thickness of the uterine wall.

Remind women who are preparing for pregnancy, as well as those who are already pregnant, to pay attention to relaxing stress and learn to adjust negative emotions in time. For us today, nothing is more important than creating life.

Reason 3: Damage to the uterine wall

Various infections, inflammations, or abortions are all common causes of uterine wall damage, which makes the endometrium respond less well to estrogen, softens the uterine wall, and even causes intrauterine adhesions. The patient's specific symptoms include oligomenorrhea, amenorrhea, infertility, etc.

Intrauterine adhesions are mainly diagnosed and treated through hysteroscopy. For those diagnosed with adhesions, hysteroscopic minimally invasive surgery is used to dissolve adhesions, promote endometrial repair, and promote menstrual recovery. However, if the endometrial damage is severe and the intrauterine adhesions are severe, even after multiple separation surgeries, it may still be impossible to restore fertility.
