Introduction

Endometrial separation after IVF may be caused by factors such as hormonal changes, endometritis, endometriosis, uterine fibroids, or endometrial polyps. It is recommended to seek medical attention promptly and follow a doctor's guidance for symptom relief through general management, medication, or other treatments. In daily life, maintaining healthy habits—such as going to bed early, waking up early, and avoiding staying up late—is beneficial for overall health.

In general, endometrial separation after in vitro fertilization (IVF) may be caused by factors such as hormonal changes, endometritis, endometriosis, uterine fibroids, or endometrial polyps. It is recommended to seek timely medical attention and follow a doctor's guidance for symptom relief through general management or medication. Specific analyses are as follows:

1. Hormonal Changes

Variations in hormone levels may also contribute to endometrial separation. For example, a drop in progesterone levels can lead to endometrial shedding, which typically occurs during certain phases of the menstrual cycle or in early pregnancy. This is considered a normal physiological phenomenon; regular observation is usually sufficient.

2. Endometritis

Endometritis caused by bacterial infection may affect the adhesion between the endometrium and the uterine wall due to inflammatory stimulation, leading to endometrial separation. Symptoms may include pain and abnormal discharge. Under medical supervision, medications such as Fule Tablets, Jingangteng Capsules, or Tinidazole Capsules may be used for treatment.

3. Endometriosis

Endometriosis is a common gynecological condition in which endometrial tissue grows outside the uterus, such as on the outer surface of the uterus, ovaries, or fallopian tubes. When these ectopic endometrial tissues respond to hormonal fluctuations, they may cause endometrial separation along with symptoms like pain and bleeding. Treatment may include medications such as Danazol Capsules, Gestrinone Capsules, or Norethisterone Tablets, taken as directed by a physician.

4. Uterine Fibroids

Uterine fibroids are benign tumors arising from the muscular tissue of the uterus and may grow within or outside the uterine wall. If a fibroid is located within the uterine wall, it may exert pressure near the endometrium, potentially causing endometrial separation and associated pain. Under medical guidance, medications such as Hongjin Xiaojie Tablets, Gynecological Hemostasis Capsules, or Guizhi Fuling Pills may be used to manage symptoms.

5. Endometrial Polyps

Endometrial polyps are benign growths on the endometrial lining that may cause irregular bleeding during the menstrual cycle and possibly lead to endometrial separation. Improvement may be achieved with medications such as Progesterone Injection, Medroxyprogesterone Acetate Tablets, or Ornidazole Dispersible Tablets, used according to medical advice.

Maintaining healthy lifestyle habits, such as going to bed and waking up early and avoiding late nights, is beneficial for overall health.

What should I do if my period hasn't come ten days after stopping progesterone?

In general, if menstruation has not occurred within ten days after stopping progesterone, it may be due to insufficient dosage or short duration of medication, excessive mental stress, polycystic ovary syndrome, hyperprolactinemia, thin endometrium, or other reasons. It is recommended to seek medical attention promptly, identify the underlying cause, and then improve the condition through general measures, medication, or other treatments under a doctor's guidance.
