Why Is the Endometrium Important for IVF?
The endometrium:
- Is the inner lining of the uterus
- Provides the site for embryo implantation
- Needs to be healthy and receptive for pregnancy
When Is Endometrial Surgery Recommended?
1. Uterine Abnormalities
- Endometrial Polyps
- Uterine Fibroids (especially submucosal)
- Can interfere with implantation
2. Intrauterine Adhesions (Asherman’s Syndrome)
- Scar tissue inside the uterus
- Prevents proper embryo attachment
3. Thin or Unhealthy Endometrium
- Poor lining development
- May require surgical or procedural correction
4. Repeated IVF Failures
- When multiple IVF cycles have failed
- Underlying uterine issues may be present
5. Chronic Endometrial Inflammation
- Infection or inflammation affecting receptivity
Types of Endometrial Surgical Procedures
1. Hysteroscopic Polypectomy
- Removal of uterine polyps
2. Hysteroscopic Myomectomy
- Removal of fibroids affecting the uterine cavity
3. Adhesiolysis
- Removal of scar tissue inside the uterus
4. Endometrial Scratch (in selected cases)
- Procedure to improve implantation response
