What should I do if my endometrium is too thin to have a menstrual period?
Disease description:
Recently, I've noticed that my period has been absent for an unusually long time. After a hospital checkup, I was told that my endometrium is too thin. Could someone please advise what should be done when menstruation stops due to a thin uterine lining?

Thin endometrium causing absent menstruation can be regulated through diet. A thin endometrium is often caused by insufficient hormone secretion, so it's important to consume foods rich in estrogen, such as soybeans, soy milk, and tofu. These contain isoflavones, which are natural estrogens. Regularly consuming these foods helps supply the body with needed estrogen, improves a thin endometrium, and promotes menstrual onset. Additionally, foods such as black fungus (wood ear), honey, and walnuts can also be beneficial.
