Endometrium Conditions and Diseases
Medically reviewed by Leyla Bilali, RN
The endometrium is the inner lining of the uterus. Each month, the endometrium thickens and renews itself, preparing for pregnancy. If pregnancy doesn’t occur, the endometrium sheds in a process known as menstruation.
If conception takes place, the embryo implants into the endometrium. Conditions that involve the endometrium and may impact fertility include: Adenomyosis, Asherman’s syndrome (uterine adhesions), Endometrial cancer, Endometrial polyps, Endometriosis, Luteal Phase Defect, Too thin or too thick endometrium and Viral infection.
