Advancements in Endometrial Health: Exploring Innovations and Treatment Strategies

Thursday, 1 May 2025 | 0900 – 1620
Venue: Room 332, Level 3, Suntec Convention & Exhibition Centre

Course Description

This course offers an in-depth exploration of the latest advancements in the field of endometrial health, with a specific focus on innovations in diagnosis and treatment strategies for conditions affecting fertility. Participants will gain insights into the mechanisms of decidualization and embryo implantation, as well as the complex interplay of uterine and embryonic factors in recurrent implantation failure (RIF). The course combines theoretical knowledge with practical discussions to enhance understanding and application of current treatments and future directions in endometrial health.

Course Objective

  • Understand the mechanisms of decidualization and embryo implantation.
  • Identify risk factors and causes of recurrent implantation failure (RIF).
  • Explore the impact of organic and non-organic uterine lesions on fertility.
  • Review advances in endometrial receptivity testing and preimplantation genetic testing.
  • Examine emerging treatment strategies, including intrauterine PRP/G-CSF infusion and assisted hatching

This course is organized by the ASPIRE Endometrium and Implantation SIG
