Gynecological diseases are nightmares in the hearts of many women. There are many types of gynecological diseases, but no matter which one, they are extremely harmful to women's bodies, and intrauterine adhesions are one of them. If you go to the hospital for examination and the diagnosis is intrauterine adhesions, it will be mentioned that the endometrium is thin. So, will intrauterine adhesions necessarily result in thin endometrium?
Endometrial adhesions do have an impact on the thickness of the endometrium, but they do not necessarily cause thinning of the endometrium. It is possible to diagnose intrauterine adhesions without thinning the endometrium. Under normal circumstances, the thickness of the endometrium is between 5mm and 10mm. During menstruation, the endometrium will fall off normally. After menstruation, the thickness of the endometrium will gradually increase, but the amplitude will not be too large. At this time, the thickness of the endometrium will still be maintained at around 10mm.
One of the reasons for the thin endometrium in women is intrauterine adhesions. Of course, the probability of intrauterine adhesions is generally not high. Women may have experienced miscarriage, curettage, and fetal arrest before experiencing intrauterine adhesions. These surgeries can cause great damage to the endometrium in women. To determine whether it is intrauterine adhesions, further examination can be performed through hysteroscopy.
In addition to intrauterine adhesions, the level of female endocrine secretion can also affect the thickness of the endometrium. For example, if a woman lacks estrogen or growth hormone for a long time, the endometrium will naturally become thinner without the stimulation of growth hormone. Finally, there is an issue with the uterus itself, which also affects the thickness of the endometrium, such as uterine developmental abnormalities.
