Uterus and Uterine Lining: Polyps, Fibroids, adhesions

Problems of the uterus and uterine lining that can cause or contribute to reproductive problems such as infertility or recurrent miscarriage:

Uterine Polyps

Uterine Fibroids (proper medical terminology is myoma or leiomyoma)

Intrauterine adhesions - scar tissue within the uterine cavity, also called Asherman's Syndrome. This can interfere with conception, or can increase the risk of a miscarriage.
Congenital uterine malformations, such as a bicornuate uterus, a T-shaped uterus, or a uterine septum
Luteal phase defect - an uncommon condition that involves inadequate development of the microscopic and cellular changes in the endometrial lining of the uterus after ovulation and exposure to the hormone progesterone.
Thin endometrial lining - this is also uncommon. We like to see a lining of at least 8mm in thickness when measured by ultrasound at the time of maximal thickness during the cycle (see above ultrasound picture of an 11.2 mm lining).

Chinese Medicine also considers the quality of uterus line. To deal fibroid or polyps and adhesion, we have herbs to move the blood and Qi, and also remove heat dampness. With thin lining, we have herbs to stimulate the growth which we consider it lack of Kidney Jin.
