RESEARCH ON RECENT PROGRESS IN THE TREATMENT OF THIN ENDOMETRIUM

Abstract

Objective: The endometrium is an important part of the uterus. The human endometrium is a complex and dynamic tissue that goes through phases of growth and regression during any menstrual cycle. In this review, we review the literature on thin endometrium and discuss recent therapeutic tools and recent progress of thin endometrium to inform clinicians on better treatment options.

Methods: We conducted a narrative review aimed at clarifying several treatments (granulocyte colony-stimulating factor, sildenafil, low-dose aspirin, stem cell therapy, acupuncture, and physical therapy) in treating thin endometrium.

Results: Several treatments have been developed, such as granulocyte colony-stimulating factor, sildenafil, low-dose aspirin, stem cell therapy, acupuncture and physical therapy, among others. Overall, some of the newer therapies, including granulocyte colony-stimulating factor and stem cell therapy, may enjoy many advantages over conventional therapies.

Conclusions: There is still room for improvement in these therapies and much research is needed to maximize the potential of emerging new therapies. Finally, as the feasibility of acupuncture and physical therapy for thin endometrium is proven, these therapies should likewise receive adequate attention.
