The uterus which carries the foetus for the whole nine months is made of three layers. – innermost, middle and outer layer. The innermost layer of the uterus is named Endometrium. A thick and salutary Endometrium is crucial for a regular cycle and successful pregnancy. A thick and healthy Endometrium also referred to as Uterine Lining, goes an extended way in ensuring effective implantation of fertilized eggs inside the uterus.In some women, this endometrial thickness is insufficient to hold the embryo after the implantation.
Let us see some causes of Thin Endometrium:•
Inadequate blood flow•
Fibroids• Amenorrhea/Abnormal Periods•
Pelvic Inflammatory Disease (PID)•
D&C or any pelvic surgeries•
Intrauterine Adhesions•
Excessive use of Clomiphene (Clomid)•
Low quality of endometrial tissue•
Long term use of Birth control pillsWomen unable to urge pregnancy or face difficulty in holding a pregnancy must get their estrogen level and thickness of Endometrium checked. Endometrium Lining must be a minimum of 8 mm thick for successful implantation of the fetus. If it is thin, implantation doesn't happen that culminates into the failure of pregnancy. Hence one must get treatment for skinny Endometrium to become pregnant.
