Thick endometrium can cause infertility

The thickness of the endometrium is not a fixed value, but changes with the female menstrual cycle. Normal endometrial thickness is an important factor in female pregnancy, but if ovarian hormone disorder leads to abnormal thickening of the endometrium, it will cause certain harm to women.

The harm caused by endometrial thickening is far more than the symptoms of the disease itself. Abnormal endometrial thickening can cause female infertility, miscarriage, habitual miscarriage, and the risk of transformation to endometrial cancer. So what is the cause of endometrial thickening?

The cause of endometrial thickening is often related to excessive ovarian estrogen secretion and progesterone deficiency. If the ovarian hormones are disordered, it is easy to cause abnormal thickening of the endometrium, that is, endometrial hyperplasia, which is caused by a large amount of estrogen stimulating the endometrium.

Endometrial thickening is related to women's functional uterine bleeding. There are many causes of "functional uterine bleeding", and the main causes vary in different age groups. Studies have also shown that high education, obesity, diabetes and hormone replacement therapy have epidemiological characteristics of high-risk factors for endometrial hyperplasia, especially hormone replacement therapy, which greatly increases the risk of endometrial hyperplasia.
