One of the layers that make up the uterine wall in a woman's uterus is the endometrium, which is a very important layer. The endometrium responds to estrogen and progesterone and undergoes significant changes during the female sexual cycle. The endometrium is closely related to fertility. Some women want to know if a naturally thin uterine wall affects fertility?
Women should know that only when the thickness of the endometrium is normal, that is, within the range of 8 to 10 millimeters, can the fertilized egg implant smoothly, develop into an embryo, and gradually grow and develop into a fetus. Therefore, regardless of the reason for the thin endometrium, it will affect women's pregnancy and fertility. If the thickness of the endometrium is below 7 millimeters, it will be unfavorable for fertilized egg implantation and even lead to miscarriage.
Congenital thin endometrium is mainly caused by genetic factors. However, for this situation, women can increase hormones in the body artificially or undergo surgery under the guidance of a doctor to thicken the endometrium to a normal range, which can help women conceive normally. In addition, women who experience multiple miscarriages and curettage can also cause varying degrees of damage to the endometrium, resulting in the endometrium becoming thinner and thinner.
In addition to the fact that thin endometrium can affect women's normal fertility, thick endometrium can also affect women's pregnancy. Generally, if the thickness of the endometrium exceeds 12 millimeters, it is considered to be too thick endometrium, which may be caused by excessive secretion of estrogen by the ovaries or gynecological problems such as uterine fibroids, endometriosis, ovarian cysts, etc., leading to abnormal endometrial hyperplasia in women.
