Causes of thin endometrium

Thin endometrium is a common symptom among women. Under the effect of certain estrogen, if the thickness of the uterine wall cannot reach 8mm during color Doppler ultrasound examination, it is judged as thin endometrium. There are systemic reasons for thin endometrium. Common reasons include low estrogen levels, insufficient estrogen levels, ovulation disorders, and lack of growth hormone. There are also local reasons, such as endometrial damage, adhesions, and deficiency. In some patients, the uterine wall is not repaired after abortion, which can also lead to thin endometrium.

When diagnosing thin endometrium, it must be under a certain level of estrogen. If the level of estrogen is insufficient, and the endometrial thickness does not reach 8mm, it cannot be diagnosed as thin endometrium. It can only be said that the thin endometrium is caused by insufficient estrogen. Therefore, if the patient is found to have a thin endometrium during examination, the estrogen level should be checked at the same time.

Causes of thin endometrium

The causes of thin endometrium are divided into systemic factors and local factors. Systemic factors include endocrine imbalance, such as slightly low estrogen levels, estrogen deficiency, ovulation disorders and lack of growth hormone in children; local factors are mainly endometrial damage, adhesions and defects.

Reason 1 for thin endometrium: serious endocrine imbalance

The uterine wall refers to the layer that makes up the uterine cavity of mammals. It responds to both estrogen and estrogens, and therefore can undergo significant changes with the sexual cycle. Gynecologists point out that estrogen can cause uterine hypertrophy, and estrogen can promote the uterine wall to undergo special pre-pregnancy changes, or change the properties of the uterine wall so that it has the ability to produce decidua. Therefore, serious endocrine imbalance will cause hormone imbalance in the body, disrupt the regular changes of the uterine wall and cause thin endometrium.

The thin endometrium caused by simple endocrine factors can be regulated by growth hormone in clinical medicine. Appropriate estrogen and estrogen can increase the thickness of the uterine wall to a certain extent and improve the symptoms of thin endometrium.

The second reason for thin endometrium: abortion surgery

Abortion is the most important factor for thin endometrium. Experts point out that multiple medical abortions or severe abortions may cause thin endometrium. Some patients even have not had their menstrual period after abortion. This shows that abortion seriously damages the uterine wall and causes thin endometrium.

Gynecologists pointed out that because the thin endometrium caused by abortion usually takes a long time to recover, and some patients may not even be able to recover. Therefore, experts remind patients that if menstruation does not come on time after abortion, they must seek medical attention.

The third reason for thin endometrium: uterine hypoplasia

Uterine hypoplasia is also a cause of thin endometrium, but it has always been ignored by us. In clinical medicine, some patients' hysterography examinations are no longer inverted pear-shaped, and are even long and thin strips. This kind of thin endometrium caused by congenital malformation is generally difficult to treat clinically.
