Globally, 13% of the population has difficulty conceiving. In Russia, the proportion of infertile marriages ranges from 8 to 17.5%, with half of all forms of female infertility being the uterine form. The main etiological factors for impaired endometrial receptivity are infectious diseases leading to the development of chronic endometritis (most often found in tuboperitoneal infertility), dishormonal background associated with the development of hyperplastic processes in endocrine infertility, uterine fibroids, chronic endometritis and endometriosis. The frequency of detection of uterine cavity diseases in patients with repeated unsuccessful IVF programs ranges from 18 to 50%. The review examines the etiological factors and other causes of endometrial pathology leading to the development of chronic endometritis, possible mechanisms for the development of impaired growth and receptivity of the endometrium, and, as a consequence, the impossibility of pregnancy. Therapeutic strategies for restoring endometrial thickness and receptivity using pharmacological and non-pharmacological methods are described. Based on the analysis of literature data, it is shown that the use of physiotherapeutic factors in treatment programs that have pronounced anti-inflammatory, immuno- and hormone-modulating, reparative-regenerative, metabolic, vasocorrective and defibrosing effects allows for a relatively short period of time to improve endometrial receptivity, normalize hormonal levels and restore fertility in women of reproductive age, which ensures the possibility of successful embryo implantation, fetal development and childbirth.
