Thick endometrium and scanty menstruation

In daily life, many female friends are troubled by gynecological diseases. The incidence of gynecological diseases is getting higher and higher and the types of symptoms are very wide, so female friends need to have a certain understanding of this. Thick endometrium can be treated with curettage, but this is mainly for premenopausal women, and they need to pay special attention to their physical condition and eating habits.

1. Endometrial Thickness

What causes thick endometrium and little menstrual flow? Color Doppler ultrasound examination of women shows that the thickness of the endometrium is thickened, but the menstrual flow is relatively small and continuous. It is usually considered that due to ovarian endocrine disorders, there is no ovulation, which causes the stimulation of a single estrogen, and endometrial hyperplasia, resulting in a small amount of exfoliative bleeding, which leads to the patient's symptoms of continuous menstruation. Usually at this time, you need to consider using progesterone to stop bleeding, and then completely exfoliate the endometrium to treat continued bleeding. For premenopausal women, curettage or other surgical methods can be considered to stop bleeding, and the following malignant lesions of the endometrium must be excluded.

2. Causes

1. Abnormal emotions

Depression, psychological trauma, or excessive emotional stimulation can lead to endocrine dysfunction of the hypothalamus-pituitary-ovarian axis, and endocrine dysfunction can lead to oligomenorrhea.

2. Obesity

Women who are overweight may experience irregular menstruation. The degree of menstrual irregularity is positively correlated with the degree of weight gain. Weight gain can cause endocrine disorders, thus affecting women's ovulation and menstruation.

3. Excessive dieting

Maintaining normal menstruation requires a certain proportion of fat. If you diet too much to lose weight, it will cause a lack of body fat. Moreover, some hormones require a certain amount of protein to be synthesized in the body. Dieting to lose weight can also cause malnutrition and affect hormone synthesis. As a result, the whole body will be in a low estrogen state, which will lead to less menstrual flow.

4. Drug effects

When women use some medications, such as contraceptives, anti-tumor drugs, etc., it may also cause a decrease in menstrual volume.

5. Uterine hypoplasia

Some women are born with uterine dysplasia, their uterus is smaller than normal and deformed in shape, and the endometrium is less than that of a normal-sized uterus, so the menstrual volume is generally less.

6. Multiple abortions

Repeated abortions or curettage can easily lead to endocrine disorders or endometrial trauma, causing adhesions in the uterine cavity, which will not only cause less menstrual flow but may also cause amenorrhea.

7. Irregular lifestyle and diet

Regular life is also very important. Irregular diet and irregular work and rest schedules can easily lead to reduced menstrual volume.

8. Others

Diseases such as polycystic ovary syndrome can also lead to oligomenorrhea.
