What is the reason for endometrial thickening? In normal women of childbearing age, when not pregnant, the thickness of the endometrium is approximately 5-15mm. Abnormal endometrial thickening is also a common disease in women. The thickening of the endometrium is what we often call endometrial hyperplasia. Women who suffer from this disease will experience irregular menstruation and excessive or insufficient bleeding. Endometrial thickening usually occurs in women during puberty and menopause.

What causes endometrial thickening? Endometrial thickening includes the stages of endometrial hyperplasia, secretion, shedding and repair. It is generally more common during adolescence or menopause, and brings a lot of trouble to women's normal work and life. So what are the causes of endometrial thickening in women? Let's hear what the experts at Anhui Tianlun Infertility Hospital say!

1. Simple endometrial hyperplasia: The affected uterus is slightly larger, the endometrium is significantly thickened, and sometimes appears diffusely polyp-like. The amount of curettage material is large and may be mixed with red, smooth, polyp-like tissue. This is what causes the uterine lining to thicken.

2. Complex endometrial hyperplasia: The etiology of complex hyperplasia is roughly similar to that of simple hyperplasia, but because the lesions are focal, it may also be related to the distribution of hormone receptors in the tissue. A small number of complex hyperplasias may develop into atypical hyperplasia, thus affecting the prognosis. The diseased endometrium can be thickened or very thin, or it can be polyp-like. It causes the thickening of the endometrium.

3. If the ovarian hormones are disordered, it can easily lead to abnormal thickening of the endometrium, namely endometrial hyperplasia. The reason for the thickening of the endometrium is that a large amount of drugs stimulate the endometrium.

4. Obesity is the cause of endometrial thickening: In obese women, androstenedione secreted by the adrenal glands is converted into estrone by the action of aromatase in adipose tissue; the more adipose tissue there is, the stronger the conversion ability is, and the higher the estrone level in the plasma is, thus causing a persistent estrogen effect.

5. Endocrine functional tumors: Endocrine functional tumors are rare tumors, accounting for 7.5%. The gonadotropin function of the pituitary gland is abnormal, and ovarian granulosa cell tumor is also a tumor that continuously secretes estrogen. This is what causes the uterine lining to thicken.
