Thin endometrium: causes and clinical prognosis

Today, the normal embryo and receptive endometrium, capable of perceiving it, are considered to be the main factors for achieving the desired pregnancy. That is why a thin endometrium, the causes of which can be very different, significantly reduces the possibility of becoming pregnant, because it is believed that its thickness of less than 5 mm gives a minimal chance of productive conception. Therefore, modern medicine has directed all forces to fight this disease.

However, let's talk more about this pathology, and also reliably determine those pathogenic factors that provoke its development. First of all, we will clarify that the endometrium itself is represented by the inner mucosa of the uterus body lining its cavity and containing a multitude of blood vessels. Its main function is to provide the optimal conditions, so necessary for the implantation of the blastocyst in the uterus.

However, in the gynecology, a thin endometrium is often diagnosed, the causes of which can be determined by a number of pathological factors. This may be a violation of the blood supply in the uterus, which is inherent in both hereditary (congenital) and acquired (after inflammation, artificial abortion, trauma, with diseases of the uterus or neighboring organs). In addition, pathology can be formed against a background of uterine hypoplasia, or as a result of hormonal imbalance.

If we talk about such an anomaly as a thin endometrium, its causes can be directly related to abortion, with increased scraping. Such a disastrous "event" does not just break the endometrium, but it also brings a huge loss to the female body. With the removal of the entire functional layer of the uterus, the patient remains without the platform from which the endometrium could develop, but this phenomenon is extremely rare, but if there are places where the endometrium layer can not be restored, pregnancy becomes very difficult.

If a pathology is found, the thin endometrium should be treated immediately. How to identify this anomaly in a timely manner? Maturity and thickness of the endometrium are clearly visible with ultrasound, and its acceptable value should be at least 7mm, only then is a successful pregnancy possible. However, it is important to clarify that pregnancy is also quite real with a more thin endometrium, but the thinner its layer, the less chance to become pregnant.

If a thin endometrium is found, the causes are established, an immediate set of measures is needed to eliminate the pathology, which in most cases gives a positive result. Therefore today such concepts as "thin endometrium" and "pregnancy" are completely compatible.

So, productive treatment can be both medicamentous with the predominance of hormonal therapy, and surgical with direct removal of the endometrial layer. In the second case, hormones are also used to restore the internal balance of the female body.

Despite the fact that the thin endometrium is almost impossible to detect by itself, since the pathology proceeds asymptomatically, rarely accompanied by bleeding, systematic prevention of this disease is necessary. To do this, you need to monitor your health, eliminate violations of the menstrual cycle in time, intensively fight against obesity, restore your emotional background, and eliminate stress. It is also advisable to conduct a planned ultrasound of the pelvic organs and, with the slightest anxiety "in a feminine way," seek help from a leading specialist.

This is the only way to prevent the progression of the anomaly of the thin endometrium, the causes of which need to be eliminated in a timely manner.
