The uterine wall, specifically the inner lining called the endometrium, is the section where the embryo attaches and where pregnancy continues. Therefore, it is crucial for this layer to have optimum thickness and appearance for achieving pregnancy and ensuring its healthy progression. We evaluate endometrial thickness during follow-ups via ultrasonography.
If the endometrium is thinner than 7 mm, there may be an underlying adhesion, infection, or uterine anomaly. When the endometrial thickness is 14 mm or greater, intrauterine polyps, myomas, or other anomalies may be present. Hysteroscopy should be performed to detect and treat these pathologies.
Hysteroscopy is an endoscopic method used to evaluate the inside of the uterus. It can be performed without the need for anesthesia. With hysteroscopy, any endometrial pathology can be identified and, if present, treated during the same session.
