Endometrial scratching technique

Abstract

Problems of female subfertility are a current challenge. Implant failure of the embryo after an assisted human reproduction technique is undesirable and unpleasant, and strategies to improve this implant rate are welcome. One of these techniques is endometrial scratching. We performed a literature review by searching in the PubMed and Cochrane databases for relevant information regarding the technique of endometrial scratching. The technique of endometrial scratching is not complex, but choosing an optimal period in the menstrual cycle seems to produce the desired effects for the successful implantation of the embryo. Pregnancy rates obtained through assisted human reproduction techniques have been improved due to endometrial scratching techniques.
