Endometrial thickening includes physiological and pathological endometrial thickening, physiological endometrial thickening can be treated without treatment, while pathological endometrial thickening can be treated by medication or surgery.
The main cause of endometrial thickening is endogenous or exogenous estrogen increase, caused by endometrial gland or mesenchymal hyperplasia, which can be clinically manifested as endometrial hemorrhage or progress to endometrial cancer.
Generally speaking, the ovaries of women of childbearing age secrete estrogen and progesterone cyclically, causing the thickness of the endometrium to thicken regularly with the menstrual cycle, which is considered to be physiologic endometrial thickening. When the levels of estrogen and progesterone drop, the thickened endometrium will appear to exfoliate and bleed, which does not require any special treatment, and it is sufficient to wait for the cycle to fall off naturally.
However, if the menstruation is irregular, long time in the state of menopause, amenorrhea, or irregular vaginal bleeding for a long time, it is considered to be a pathologic endometrial thickening, the most commonly used treatment is medication, commonly used drugs are progestins such as medroxyprogesterone acetate and so on. In addition, surgical treatment can also be used, such as diagnostic curettage, for localized foci can be achieved through scraping, suction for diagnostic purposes.
It should be noted that the above drugs should be under the guidance of a physician, and should not be taken without authorization. In special cases, you should consult a doctor in time and seek more professional specialist treatment to avoid delaying your condition.
