Thin endometrium

Thin endometrium is a common condition in women. Under the action of certain estrogen, women can be judged as thin endometrium when the endometrium can not reach a thickness of 8 mm during ultrasound examination. The causes of thin endometrium are systemic. Common causes include low estrogen levels, insufficient progesterone levels, ovulation disorders, and lack of growth hormone. There are also local causes, such as endometrial damage, adhesions, and loss. In some patients, the endometrium has not recovered after an induced abortion, which can also cause the endometrium to be thin. When diagnosing thin endometrium, it must be at a certain level of estrogen. If the level of estrogen is insufficient, at this time, if the endometrial thickness is less than 8 mm, it cannot be diagnosed as thin endometrium. It can be said that insufficient estrogen causes thin endometrium. Therefore, if the patient finds that the endometrium is thin during the examination, check the estrogen level at the same time.
