    Thin endometrium half a month after abortion can be improved through dietary conditioning, drug intervention, traditional Chinese medicine conditioning, physical therapy, and regular review. Thin endometrium may be caused by surgical injury, endocrine disorders, intrauterine adhesions, infection, nutritional deficiency and other factors.

    1. Diet conditioning

    Appropriately increasing foods rich in high-quality protein and vitamin E can help repair the endometrium, such as fish, soy products, nuts, etc. Avoid cold, spicy and irritating foods, and drink an appropriate amount of brown sugar ginger tea to promote blood circulation. Make sure to drink enough water every day to maintain the body's metabolic balance.

    2. Drug intervention

    Estradiol valerate tablets can be used under the guidance of a doctor to promote intimal growth, or progesterone capsules can be used to regulate endocrine. People at risk of infection may need cefixime dispersible tablets to prevent inflammation. During the medication period, you must strictly follow the doctor's instructions, and you are not allowed to adjust the dosage on your own.

    3. Traditional Chinese Medicine conditioning

    Traditional Chinese medicine believes that a thin endometrium is related to insufficient Qi and blood. Moxibustion can be used on acupuncture points such as Guanyuan and the uterus to improve local blood circulation. Take Chinese patent medicines such as Dingkun Dan to regulate qi and blood, or follow the doctor's advice to combine Chinese medicine decoctions such as Angelica sinensis and Chuanxiong. It needs to be treated by a professional Chinese medicine practitioner based on syndrome differentiation.

    4. Physical therapy

    Low-frequency electrical stimulation therapy can promote endometrium repair by improving pelvic blood flow. Apply local heat to the lower abdomen for 15-20 minutes every day. Be careful that the temperature is not too high. During treatment, strenuous exercise and heavy physical labor should be avoided and adequate rest should be ensured.

    5. Regular review

    A follow-up ultrasound is required 1 month after the operation to observe the recovery of the endometrium. If the thickness is still less than 3 mm, further investigation for intrauterine adhesions is required. Monitor changes in basal body temperature and menstrual cycle. If persistent amenorrhea or abnormal bleeding occurs, seek medical attention promptly. Avoid getting pregnant again within 3 months.

    During the post-operative recovery period, you need to keep your perineum clean, change your underwear every day and wash it with warm water. Ensure 7-8 hours of sleep every day to avoid staying up late and mood swings. Light exercise such as walking is allowed, but swimming, bathing and sex are prohibited for at least 1 month. If you develop fever, worsening abdominal pain, or abnormal discharge, seek medical attention immediately. Pay attention to the combination of meat and vegetables in the diet, and supplement iron-containing foods such as animal liver and dark vegetables in appropriate amounts to prevent anemia.
