Endometrieg is called the internal mucosa of the walls of the uterus, in which the system of blood vessels is located. Before the onset of menstruation, the layer of the endometrium grows and is prepared for the introduction of a fertilized egg. If pregnancy does not occur, it is rejected from the uterine walls and comes out with menstrual flow. Therefore, sometimes among them you can see blood clots or lumps.
Thin endometrium can manifest itself as a result of such disorders of the body:
- hormonal disbalance;
- uterine hypoplasia occurring at birth;
- poor blood supply of this organ;
- traumatized by scraping endometrial layer.
Normally its thickness should be at least 7 millimeters. The thin endometrium, which is only a few millimeters, becomes a serious reason for the absence of pregnancy. With the question of why the thin endometrium appeared precisely in them, many future mothers with excellent health are confronted. Another reason for its appearance may be an individual feature of the structure and functioning of the body. The thin endometrium after curettage, frequent abortions or the regular use of hormonal drugs casts doubt on the well-being of the subsequent conception and bearing of the fetus. All this deprives the uterus necessary for the development of the embryo base.
Thin endometrium - symptoms
In medical practice, several main indicators of the presence of a refined endometrium are distinguished:
- delays or malfunctions in the cycle of onset of menstruation;
- pain in the lower abdomen;
- blood discharge from the vagina;
- pain in the lower back and swelling of the nipples;
- change in the psychological state of a woman, etc.
With thin endometrium, scanty menstrual periods are, almost the main symptom of the presence of this deviation. In any case, after finding out the incomprehensible origin of bleeding, it is worth immediately contacting a women's consultation.
Pregnancy with a thin endometrium
The onset of pregnancy with such a diagnosis is possible in very rare cases, since there is no necessary "litter" for implantation of the embryo, attaching the placenta and feeding it with the necessary substances. If it does, the risk of early interruption is large enough. Pregnancy with a thin endometrium implies careful control by the obstetrician-gynecologist, complete rest of the woman and taking prescribed medications under a strict scheme. There are also specially designed tablets and gels that can help restore
A very frequent reason, pushing a woman to artificial insemination, is a thin endometrium. IVF in this case gives little chance of becoming pregnant, much less bearing fruit - only 1% or even 0.5%. This does not mean that scientific development and research are not conducted in this direction. The final result of getting rid of a very thin endometrium depends largely on the reaction of the body to the treatment measures being taken. Often, doctors of IVF clinics advise you to first try to restore the necessary thickness of the endometrium, freezing for this period the biomaterial. This will help to avoid a lot of unsuccessful attempts, disappointments and huge cash costs.
The thickness and degree of maturity of the endometrial layer can be determined using the ultrasound apparatus.
