What causes thick endometrium?

The endometrium is also very important to the health of female friends, but in life, the endometrium of many female friends is too thin or too thick. This is caused by some unfavorable factors and will cause different effects. So what is the reason for the thickness of the endometrium?

This situation is not uncommon in life. If the endometrium is too thick, it must be caused by multiple factors, and it may be caused by anovulation. In daily life, many female friends have anovulation. Therefore, the endometrium exists for a long time and is maintained by the action of estrogen, but there is no progesterone to fight against this situation. It lacks periodic secretion and transformation, and is in a state of proliferation for a long time.

You should know that there are many reasons for the same situation, and thick endometrium is no exception. When you go to a regular hospital for examination, if the ovulation is normal, it is caused by other reasons. In addition to the reason of no ovulation, it may also be caused by obesity. Obese people are at high risk of thick endometrium. The adrenal glands of these women secrete androstenedione, which is converted into estrone through the action of aromatase in adipose tissue. The more adipose tissue there is, the stronger the conversion ability will be, and the higher the estrone level in plasma will be, so it causes the continuous influence of estrogen.

In addition to the above two reasons, there are many reasons for the thickness of the endometrium. There may also be reasons for endocrine function tumors, which are relatively rare in clinical practice and account for 7.5% of pituitary gland. In addition, there is also the cause of endometrial hyperplasia, which is different from endometriosis. It is a pathological type of endometrial thickening. The uterus will be slightly larger, the endometrium will be significantly thickened, and it will also appear diffuse polyp-like.

What is the cause of endometrial thickness? Many people do not know much about the causes of the disease, but the causes are very helpful for later treatment. Therefore, I believe that all female friends are very concerned about this issue, and thick endometrium is not uncommon in our lives. There are various reasons for this situation, such as obesity, anovulation, endocrine functional tumors or endometrial hyperplasia.
