The thickness of the uterine lining is crucial for the success rate of embryo implantation. If the uterine lining does not reach a certain thickness, the embryo will have difficulty implanting successfully. The issue of a thin uterine lining troubles many women who are trying to conceive. Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) can effectively improve endometrial thickness.
In the article, we are going to share with you how TCM increase endometrial thickness and chance of pregnancy in the following article.
Is there a link between endometrial thickness and success rates of embryo implantation?
Yes, it is. Research shows a positive correlation between endometrial thickness and embryo implantation success rates. If the uterine lining is too thin, it becomes difficult for the embryo to implant successfully, which in turn affects the chances of a successful pregnancy.
Endometrial thickness is one of the key factors affecting fertility. Many women are troubled by thin uterine lining and seek solutions to address this issue.
What causes the insufficient of endometrial thickness?
From the perspective of TCM, the two most common causes of thin uterine lining are:
- Insufficient Qi and Blood: TCM believes that insufficient Qi and blood can lead to poor growth of the uterine lining, making it difficult for it to thicken properly and support embryo implantation.
- Poor Blood Circulation Around the Uterus: Poor blood circulation around the uterus can prevent sufficient nutrients and oxygen from reaching the uterine lining, affecting its growth and leading to insufficient thickness.
How can TCM improve endometrial thickness?
TCM can improve endometrial thickness and increase the success rate of embryo implantation through the following two methods:
Herbal Medicine
TCM uses herbal formulas to regulate Qi and blood, improve blood circulation, and promote endometrial growth. Common herbs include “Dang Gui (Angelica)”, “Shu Di Huang (Prepared Rehmannia Root)”, and Chuan Xiong (Ligusticum Chuanxiong). These herbs help nourish and replenish Qi and blood, promoting the thickening of the uterine lining.
Acupuncture and Moxibustion
Acupuncture stimulates specific acupoints, while moxibustion improves blood circulation around the ovaries and uterus. Stimulating these points increases local blood flow, allowing nutrients and medicine to better reach the uterine lining, promoting its thickening.
Story for increasing endometrial thickness for IVF
Recently, 36-year-old Linda was troubled by her inability to conceive. She had previously experienced a failed embryo implantation due to insufficient endometrial thickness. After several failed attempts, she sought help from our clinic for TCM treatment.
Dr. Wang, an experienced TCM practitioner, diagnosed her condition and prescribed a tailored fertility-enhancing herbal formula and acupuncture therapy. After one month of treatment, her endometrial thickness increased to 6.5mm. By the second month, it had reached 7.5mm — the perfect thickness for embryo transfer. Linda was amazed by the rapid progress!
Following the treatment, Linda proceeded with an IVF procedure, and the embryo implanted successfully. Now, her baby is one month old!
