ENDOMETRIAL THICKNESS IN PREGNANCY: ANALYSIS BASED ON SONOGRAPHIC CRITERIA
Keywords:
Endometrial thickness, pregnancy, sonography, implantation, assisted reproductive technology, endometrial receptivity, reproductive outcomesAbstract
Endometrial thickness is a crucial parameter in reproductive medicine, reflecting the endometrium’s receptivity and its potential impact on implantation and pregnancy outcomes. This article reviews the significance of endometrial thickness in achieving successful pregnancy, particularly in assisted reproductive technologies (ART), and evaluates sonographic criteria as a diagnostic and prognostic tool. The role of ultrasonographic assessment in predicting implantation success and guiding individualized treatment strategies is also discussed.
