For thin endometrium associated with polycystic ovary syndrome, it is recommended to consume nutrient-rich foods such as walnuts, goji berries, and red dates. Appropriate exercise to maintain a healthy weight is also important, and one should avoid excessive mental stress and anxiety. Under a doctor's guidance, hormone therapy with estrogen-supplementing medications can be used; common options include progesterone capsules and estradiol valerate tablets. In cases of severe symptoms, treatment often requires laparoscopic ovarian drilling surgery.
