The uterus carries the fetus in females through the lifecycle of pregnancy It consists of three layers - the innermost layer, middle layer, and outer layer The innermost layer of the uterus is known as the endometrium A healthy endometrium is a thick endometrium The thickness of the endometrium plays a vital role in regulating the menstrual cycle and smooth pregnancy The common name for endometrium is the uterine lining Thick endometrium also helps in the process of implantation of fertilized eggs inside the uterus.
The minimum thickness of the uterine lining should be at least 8mm thick for the successful implantation of the fetus Only then the fetus would grow In the case of thin endometrium, the implantation of the fetus is not possible and hence, pregnancy failure occurs There are two most important hormones when it comes to implantation They are progesterone and Estrogen Estrogen plays a vital role in maintaining the thickness of the endometrium It helps maintain the endometrium thick, and salutary and enriches the blood flow of the endometrium Progesterone supports in preparation for the transfer of the embryo into the uterine cavity Research suggests that women who have a thin uterine cavity have fewer chances of attaining pregnancy, despite having high levels of estrogen Let us look into the reasons for a thin endometrial lining and the psychological impact of Thin Endometrium.
Low Estrogen Level
Damaged endometrial Lining
Decreased Blood Flow
Uterine Fibroids
Chronic Endometriosis
Infertility issuess
Irregular or Abnormal Menstrual cycles
Insufficient menstrual bleedings
Thin endometriosis might lead to infertility. Infertility creates various grades of mental health issues in women and might destroy the harmony between the women and their families. The most common condition people face during infertility is depression.
Around 15% of infertile women commit suicide due to depression. The indifference of the people around them does not get sufficient care. Apart from suicides, depression affects a woman’s health on an everyday basis. Finding the lost meaning back in their lives seem impossible after learning about their infertility.
The most important aspect is to provide mental health psychological counseling. Infertile women get into another important psychological problem which is the guilt complex. The guilt complex makes them stay away from their family and loves ones due to the guilt for which they are not guilty.
The guilt complex ultimately leads to depression. The most infertile couple lives between guilt, envy, and depression. We need to take care of their mental well-being.
Endometrial Thickening is an important technique that makes the embryo adhere to the wall of the uterus.
Platelet Rich Plasma is blood plasma that contains five times the volume of the regular platelet present in the blood. PRP can stimulate the regeneration of cells and tissues.
