Book an AppointmentPoor Endometrium
Poor or thin endometrium is another factor related to infertility in women. The uterus, which is the home of the baby as it grows for 9 months, is made up of 3 layers. The innermost layer that first comes into an embryo as it comes to attach itself to the uterus, is called the endometrium. A thick and healthy endometrium is crucial for a healthy menstrual cycle and for successful pregnancy.
The health of the uterine lining, or the endometrium depends on the vital levels of estrogen. A lack of estrogen can result into thinning of the the endometrium below its safe level of 8mm.
Causes of Poor or Thin Endometrium
- Low levels of estrogen
- Restricted blood flow
- Fibroids
- Abnormal menstrual cycle
- Pelvic inflammatory disease
- Surgeries
- Uterus adhesions
- Long term use of birth control pills
The condition is usually identified by a doctor upon examination, with common symptoms ranging from irregular periods to painful periods.

There are a number of reasons behind the thinning of the uterus lining. The primary reason is the lack of estrogen formation in the body. Apart from that, surgery, fibroids, blood circulation issues, Pelvic inflammatory disease, and long term use of birth control pills can also be blamed.
Q. Can a thin uterus lining cause miscarriage?
A thin endometrim can not only cause a failed pregnancy, but can also be a big reason behind miscarriages. The irreponsiveness of the uterus to the hormones due to a thin endometrium can restrict the blood flow to the baby, thus causing a miscarriage.
