Patient's question:
I am a 35-year-old woman, and gradually, my body started to feel uncomfortable. I don't know what's wrong, and it seems like I lack energy. Please ask: How should thin endometrium be treated?Doctor's answer:
The endometrium changes with the menstrual cycle, primarily related to the levels of endocrine hormones in the body. If you don't know when the detailed examination was conducted during the menstrual cycle, generally, the thickness of the endometrium is around 1.2-1.5 cm before menstruation. Based on your current results, it appears to be thin, and an ultrasound and further hysteroscopy can be performed for a detailed examination. If it measures only 0.5 cm before menstruation, it indicates significant endometrial damage, and estrogen treatment can be taken orally. For specific usage methods, please consult with the outpatient doctor and make a choice. Soy milk also has a certain effect because it contains components known as phytoestrogens, which work similarly to oral estrogen treatment but with much weaker effects. An excessively thin endometrium can lead to infertility and requires timely treatment.
