doi:10.12280/gjszjk.20200274

Abstract

Abstract:

According to the pathological etiology of thin endometrium, this paper expounds the pathogenesis and the clinical treatment methods based on a large number of clinical data, case reports and relevant references. The brief principle, clinical efficacy and related side effects of treatment are also included. On the base of the current research progress and new diagnosis and treatment ideas, the possibility of regenerative medicine is filed a discussion. The functional principle and clinical feasibility of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) and endometrial stem cells (EDSCs) are mainly discussed, including their clinical feasibility and the limitations, which show us a new hot of further study. This review provides useful reference for clinical treatment of thin endometrium in the future.

Key words: Endometrium, Reproductive techniques,assisted, Estrogens, Mesenchymal stromal cells, Platelet-rich plasma, Thin endometrium
