What to do if the anterior wall of the uterus is thin

The anterior wall of the uterus is a structure near our uterus. Various problems often occur here, such as uterine cold, uterine fibroids, etc. There may also be problems with the anterior wall of the uterus, including a thin anterior wall of the uterus. This will affect the health of the fetus in our belly. Once this happens, it can be treated. So what should I do if the anterior wall of the uterus is thin?

If the endometrium is found to be thin, a hysteroscopy should be performed first to rule out intrauterine adhesions. Your doctor may choose to give you a higher dose of estrogen to stimulate the growth of the endometrium, or use medications to increase blood flow to the endometrium, thereby improving a woman's thin endometrium.

When it comes to the problem of thin endometrium, we need to see when we evaluate the thickness of the endometrium. Because for women, the normal thickness of the endometrium is different at different times of the menstrual period. For example, when a woman has just finished her menstruation, her endometrium should be very thin, generally not exceeding 5 mm. However, when ovulation approaches, during the ovulation period, we currently believe that the normal thickness of the endometrium should be more than 8 mm. We often say that the endometrium is thin. In medicine, we have a special term for it called thin endometrium. How thin the endometrium is is a mystery in clinical practice, and it is also a controversial issue in academia. Most scholars and most published literature now define thin endometrium as endometrial thickness less than 7 mm.

There may be many causes of thin endometrium. The most common one is damage to the endometrium. For example, repeated abortions and curettages can damage the endometrial muscle layer, making it very difficult for the endometrium to grow. Therefore, the endometrium will remain thin. Then there is another situation, which is inflammation. Inflammation of the endometrium, especially the erosion of the endometrium caused by endometrial adhesion, can also cause the endometrium to be too thin or cause adhesions in the uterine cavity.

In clinical practice, when we find thin endometrium, the first thing we need to rule out is intrauterine adhesion, so we will ask the patient to undergo a hysteroscopy. There is no satisfactory method for treating thin endometrium clinically. Your doctor may then choose to use a larger dose of estrogen to stimulate the growth of the endometrium, or use some medications to increase blood flow to the endometrium. Now some people are trying to use stem cell transplantation to improve the condition of the endometrium.
