What are the symptoms of thin endometrium?

Thin endometrium can be divided into different types. Some are caused by kidney deficiency, which is common in unmarried women. It can be manifested as scanty menstruation, rapid menstruation, or long periods accompanied by soreness of the waist and legs. There is also blood stasis type, which is common in women who have undergone gynecological surgery or abortion.

1. Thin endometrium due to kidney deficiency

It is more common in non-pregnant women. Generally, the age of menarche is late or the menstrual flow is too little after menarche, the secondary sexual characteristics appear late, and the estrogen secretion is insufficient after menstruation. Common symptoms include short menstrual period, very little menstrual flow, or even a few drops of menstrual flow, light red color, dizziness, tinnitus, back pain, weak legs, heel pain, etc.

2. Thin endometrium due to blood deficiency

It is common in women between the ages of 30 and 40, and is mostly caused by spleen deficiency, poor appetite, malnutrition, improper weight loss, excessive fatigue, and long-term illness that damages the yin and blood. This phenomenon can easily lead to delayed menstruation and endometrial proliferative disorders. Common symptoms include scanty and light-colored menstruation that stops after one to two days or stops with just a few drops, dull pain in the lower abdomen, dizziness, palpitations, sallow complexion, pale nails, pale lips and tongue, and dry skin.

3. Thin endometrium due to blood stasis

It is seen in those who have not discharged lochia cleanly after delivery, have undergone gynecological surgery or abortion, blood stasis in the uterus, or worry and anger leading to qi stagnation and blood stasis, endometrial adhesion, poor blood circulation and small amount of blood, purple and black blood with lumps, and stabbing pain in the lower abdomen that refuses to be pressed.

4. If the endometrium is too thin, it may easily lead to infertility or miscarriage; but if estrogen is simply supplemented, it may easily lead to endometrial cancer. The thickness of a healthy and normal endometrium is 0.8-1.0cm. The thickness of the endometrium is different at different periods. The endometrium during ovulation is generally larger than 1.0cm, which is conducive to the implantation of the fertilized egg. Endometrium that is too thick or too thin will directly affect pregnancy. I suggest you go to the hospital for an endocrine test and don’t take medicine blindly!
