Can a D&C Cause a Thin Endometrium? Signs, Recovery and Pregnancy Chances

Yes, a D&C can sometimes contribute to a thin endometrium, although this is not a common outcome and most women recover without any long-term problems. The risk is usually higher if the uterine lining is damaged or scar tissue develops after the procedure.



If a follow-up ultrasound shows a thin endometrial lining, it is natural to worry about fertility and future pregnancy. Knowing the possible causes and the steps doctors take to evaluate the condition can help you make informed decisions about your reproductive health.
