What is uterine wall thickening?

Many women are very worried when they find that their uterine wall is thick during examination, but they don’t know what causes this condition. The thickness of the uterine wall can be divided into two categories: physiological and endometrial. If the endometrial thickening reaches 1b250μm or more, it is physiological, and targeted treatment methods should be selected in time according to the cause of the disease. Below I will introduce to you what are the causes of thick uterine wall?

1. The thickness of the uterine wall of most women may be caused by the action of estrogen, and it is temporary, mainly occurring before ovulation and before menarche. This is a normal physiological phenomenon. It is the body's preparation for the fusion of sperm and egg, providing resource advantages for the development of test tube embryos. When there is no pregnancy, the uterine wall will fall off and recede after normal menstruation, and enter the next growth cycle.

2. The cause of the post-operative pathological changes has not been established clinically, but it has been found that many adolescent girls and menopausal women have unstable endocrine system, some patients with polycystic ovary syndrome, and patients with a certain stage of imbalance in the hypothalamus-pituitary-uterine-ovarian axis, etc., all have non-ovulatory states. The uterine wall of these patients is subjected to the long-term continuous action of estrogen, and due to the lack of estrogen resistance, regular metabolic changes cannot occur, which will lead to different degrees of uterine wall thickness.

3. Some women may also experience endometrial thickening after taking estrogen supplement therapy after menopause. The summary found that 20% of women will experience endometrial thickening after one year of treatment with estrogen drugs alone.

4. Some women have thick uterine walls due to advanced breast cancer after menopause and long-term use of tamoxifen and other treatment drugs. The main reason is that tamoxifen has a weak estrogen-like effect that causes irritation of the endometrium.

The above are the causes of thick uterine wall introduced to female friends today. I believe that after reading it, everyone will have a better understanding of the causes of thick uterine wall. Finally, I want to remind everyone that when the endometrium thickens, it is necessary to go through the guidance of a specialist and adopt a comprehensive and comprehensive approach to treatment in order to better accelerate the body's recovery rate.
