In recent years, infertility caused by a thin endometrium has become more and more common. The reason for this is that changes in women’s lifestyle have greatly harmed the fragile uterus. The uterus is the most important part of conception. Nowadays, women do not know much about sex and have a poor sense of self-protection, and they do not even have a proper understanding of what hurts the uterus, and they only realize the seriousness of the problem when they get pregnant.
What is the most important part of pregnancy?
???????? The endometrium is thickest during ovulation, so if your menstrual cycle is 28 days, to check the thickness of the endometrium you should have an ultrasound on the 8th, 10th, 12th and 14th day of your period. If the endometrium thickness does not reach 7mm by the 14th day of ovulation, it means that your endometrium is thin.
I. What causes thin endometrium?
In clinical practice, there are many infertility caused by endometrium, such as endometritis, endometrial thickening, thin endometrium, endometrial lesions, endometriosis, etc. Thin endometrium is clinically known as thin endometrium. The normal endometrial thickness is 8-10mm, which is clinically considered the most suitable for pregnancy. Both too thin and too thick are likely to affect the fertilization of the egg.
1, abortion is the most important factor of thin endometrium.
Nowadays, premarital sex has increased, and our sex knowledge education has not kept up in time, resulting in an increase in unwanted pregnancies, most of which will choose abortion. It is well known that abortion can cause a decrease in the thickness of the endometrium. The number of abortions will cause the endometrium to be lower than 8mm, so that infertility will follow.
2, serious endocrine disorders is another factor.
The endometrium, the layer that forms the inner wall of the mammalian uterus, responds to both motilin and progesterone and can therefore change significantly with the sexual cycle. Actin can cause hypertrophy of the uterus, and progesterone can induce specific early pregnancy changes in the endometrium or change the nature of the endometrium so that it has the ability to produce meconium. Therefore, a serious endocrine disorder can lead to hormonal imbalance in the body, disrupting the cyclical changes in the endometrium and leading to thin endometrium.
Is the endometrium important?
The endometrium is the membrane of the inner wall of the uterus and the place where the fertilized egg is laid. If the endometrium is sick, too thin or too thick, it can easily lead to infertility.
It is like a piece of soil (endometrium) and a seed (fertilized egg), either the soil is too poor (thin endometrium) or too fertile (thickened endometrium) for the seed to germinate and grow well (fertilized egg). When the fertilized egg does not successfully implant, infertility naturally occurs. The importance of the uterus speaks for itself.
Third, the endometrium is thin, pay attention to daily health care
In addition to going to the hospital for specialized treatment in a timely manner, thin endometrium should pay more attention to daily health care.
1, mental aspect: should maintain a stable, happy mood, avoid excessive mental tension. Relaxation is actually one of the most effective ways to regulate endocrine secretion, which is very important. Under the role of good mood, women can not only have more health, but also will exude charm, do not ignore this point.
2, physiological aspects: pay attention to warmth during the period, you can place a hot pad or warm water bag on the abdomen to promote accelerated blood circulation, and relax the muscles, reduce organ spasm, and promote the discharge of menstrual blood.
3, exercise: exercise can enhance physical fitness, the benefits of uterine health. Practicing yoga is the best way to maintain the uterus. Yoga can ease the circulation of qi and blood in the female organs and adjust the secretion of hormones.
4, diet: should be light, avoid spicy and thick taste, quit smoking and alcohol. Eat more blood-boosting foods, such as black beans, gum, black fungus, snow clams, soy milk, oyster chicken, honey, walnuts, black sesame, melon seeds, etc.
Fourth, advice for friends with thin endometrium.
Thin endometrium is one of the more difficult problems in infertility, and infertility caused by thin endometrium is difficult to cure. Therefore, women are reminded to do the following 3 things.
One, gynecological inflammation should be detected and treated early, and the upstream infection of inflammation should always be avoided. Patients with thin endometrium are mostly women with multiple miscarriages; women with insufficient estrogen; and women with long-standing illness and weakness, so if you belong to this group, pay more attention to it.
Secondly, women who do not plan to have children should learn to contracept, and at the same time enhance their sexual knowledge as well as their general knowledge of contraception to avoid repeatedly hurting the endometrium; in addition, thin endometrium caused by abortion generally takes a long time to recover, and some patients cannot even recover, so patients are especially reminded that once their periods do not come as scheduled after abortion, they must be seen for examination.
Thirdly, it is generally difficult to detect thin endometrium during routine gynecological examinations. In clinical practice, Yin ultrasound (vaginal ultrasound) is usually used, so when a woman has symptoms of inexplicable decrease in menstruation, she must go to a regular specialized reproductive center for examination, not just gynecology, which generally does not delve into the reproductive aspect.
