CHRONIC ENDOMETRITIS: A HIDDEN THREAT OF REPRODUCTION

Аннотация

Endometritis is an inflammation of the inner lining of the uterus (endometrium). The endometrium consists of two layers - basal (permanent) and functional, completely renewed within 1 month under the influence of sex hormones. With the beginning of each menstrual period, it gradually grows, preparing for possible fertilization. During ovulation, the thickness of the endometrium is the greatest, creating favorable conditions for embryo implantation. If pregnancy does not occur, the functional layer is separated during menstruation. The correct direction of this process is the key to the normal functioning of the reproductive system. However, the lining of the uterus is a finely regulated mechanism that can be damaged for various reasons. One of these causes is inflammation.
