What causes uterine wall thickness?

For women, pregnancy is everyone's responsibility. In ancient China, women's capital or duty is to pass on the family line, so the health of the uterus is the lifeblood of women. But despite this, because everyone's genes or genetic pathways are different, everyone has different morphological characteristics. So let’s take a look at what causes uterine wall thickness.

Many women are very worried when they find out that their uterine walls are thick during examinations, but they don’t know what causes this condition. The thickness of the uterine wall can be divided into two types: physiological and pathological. If the thickening of the uterine wall reaches more than 10mm, it is pathological and should be treated with targeted methods according to the cause. Below we will introduce to you the causes of thick uterine wall.

1. The thickness of the uterine wall in most women may be caused by the action of estrogen and is temporary, mainly occurring before ovulation and before menstruation. This is a normal physiological phenomenon. It is the body's preparation for the implantation of the fertilized egg and provides favorable conditions for the growth of the embryo. If there is no conception, the endometrium will fall off and disappear after normal menstruation and enter the next growth cycle.

2. The cause of the pathological nature of the work is not clear in clinical practice, but it is summarized that many adolescent girls and perimenopausal women have unstable endocrine system, some patients with polycystic ovary syndrome, and patients with disorders in a certain link of the hypothalamus-pituitary-ovarian axis may not ovulate. The endometrium of these patients is subjected to the long-term and continuous effects of estrogen. At the same time, due to the lack of progesterone to counteract it, the cyclical secretory phase cannot be transformed, which will cause different degrees of uterine wall thickness.

3. Some women who take estrogen replacement therapy after menopause may also experience uterine wall thickening. It was found that 20% of women will experience uterine wall thickening after one year of treatment with estrogen drugs alone.

4. Some women have thick uterine walls because they develop advanced breast cancer after menopause and use tamoxifen and other therapeutic drugs for a long time. This is mainly because tamoxifen has a weak estrogen-like effect that irritates the uterine wall.

The above are the causes of thick uterine wall that I introduced to female friends today. I believe that after reading it, you will have a better understanding of the causes of thick uterine wall. Finally, I want to remind everyone that when uterine wall thickening occurs, you must go through the guidance of a professional doctor and adopt a comprehensive and comprehensive approach to treatment in order to better speed up your body's recovery.
