Usually, we have been talking about what causes thin endometrium and how to deal with it, but what is the reason for thick endometrium? How should it be treated? Before answering this question, we still need to review the monthly changes in the endometrium that we talked about before. For women with normal regular menstrual cycle, during menstruation, with the shedding of the endometrium, the endometrium is the thinnest at this time, with the development of follicles, the secretion of estrogen within the thickening, before menstruation, that is, late ovulation, the endometrium is the thickest, at this time the thickness of the endometrium is greater than 14mm generally known as endometrial thickening, the most The most common cause is endometrial polyps. For menopausal women, because there is no follicle development and no menstrual flow, the thickness of the endometrium is generally less than 5 mm. What are the symptoms of a thick lining? For young and middle-aged women, endometrial thickening most often causes increased menstrual flow, prolonged periods, and in severe cases, anemia, as well as a small amount of midmenstrual bleeding. For menopausal women, the most common symptom of thick endometrium is irregular bleeding after menopause. If you have bleeding after menopause and the endometrium is greater than 10mm, you need to be highly alert to the endometrium and must consult with a regular hospital to avoid delay. Will a thick endometrium affect embryo fertilization? There are not many studies about thick endometrium. In 2004, a study including more than 1200 transplant cycles found that there was no significant difference in embryo implantation rate between those with endometrium thicker than 14mm and those with endometrium less than that value. So if your endometrium is found to be too thick before transfer or during ovulation promotion, more than 14.mm or even 16mm, it may be recommended to abandon this cycle, on the one hand because the too thick endometrium may affect the endometrial blood supply and affect embryo implantation, and on the other hand, most importantly, to be alert to some benign and malignant lesions of the endometrium. Therefore, as the source of menstruation and the soil for embryo implantation, the thickness of the endometrium directly affects our menstruation and conception, and is an important sign of women’s health. Real-time monitoring, early detection of problems and timely treatment are the only way to catch these mischievous little people!
