Patient's question:
Female, 23 years old. I had two medication-induced miscarriages in October 2004 - March 2005. After the second miscarriage, I developed acute pelvic inflammatory disease (PID), which was later cured. During a B examination at that time, it was found that my endometrium was slightly thick (approximately 1.0 cm). The doctor did not take any specific measures at the time. I would like to ask if a thick endometrium affects pregnancy? Also, could having had acute pelvic inflammatory disease affect my ability to conceive?Doctor's answer:
Hello! Under normal circumstances, the endometrium is relatively thick before menstruation, reaching 1.2~1.5cm. I don't know what situation you're referring to regarding the thickness of the endometrium. However, in general, a thick endometrium (excluding endometritis or endometrial cancer) does not affect pregnancy. On the contrary, a thin endometrium may affect pregnancy. I suggest you rest and don't worry too much.
