Title: Clinical observation of growth hormone intrauterine perfusion combined with replacement cycle in the treatment of thin endometrium
Abstract: Objective
To investigate the effects of the frozen embryo transplantation for patients with poor outcome of endometrial growth by using growth hormone (GH) intrauterine perfusion combined with replacement cycle in the treatment of thin endometrium.
Methods
This was a prospective study and study participants were consecutively recruited between Jun 2014 and September 2015. A total of 88 frozen thawed embryo transfer cycles was divided into two groups from the Reproductive Center of Hunan Provincial Maternal and Child Health Hospital. Group A were 63 hormone replacement therapy (HRT) cycles and Group B were 25 GH intrauterine perfusion combined HRT cycles.
Results
The endometrial thickness of 22 thin endometrium patients from Group B were increased above 7 mm on progesterone day. The endometrial thickness on transplant day of Group A was (9.28±1.64)mm, which was significantly higher than Group B (7.9±0.86)mm (P 0.05), but the implantation rate of group A was significantly lower than that of group B (20% vs 52.17%) (P 0.05).
Conclusions
GH uterine cavity perfusion was a useful method for treatment of thin endometrium, and was helpful for improvement of endometrial thickness and receptivity, improved embryo implantation environment by assistance for HRT under the high estrogen levels.
