The vast majority of women know that menstruation is caused by the periodic proliferation and shedding of the endometrium. The endometrium is the thinnest after menstruation and continues to thicken afterwards. Before menstruation, the endometrium reaches its thickest point, and the proliferation of the endometrium reaches its peak. Menstruation will soon come. So, how long does it take for the endometrium to be 11cm thick?
The thickening of the endometrium in women will not reach 11cm because the maximum thickness of the endometrium is 11mm. The endometrium will appear thinnest after menstruation, about 1-3mm. Over time, the endometrium gradually thickens, and by the time of ovulation, it can reach 7-8mm. Then, under the action of estrogen, the endometrium continues to thicken, gradually reaching 11-13mm. At this point, the thickening of the endometrium has reached its peak and menstruation may immediately begin,
The thickening of the female endometrium is gradually increased under the action of estrogen. Generally speaking, before menstruation, estrogen will gradually retreat, making the thickening of the endometrium unable to continue. At the time when estrogen retreats, that is, when the endometrium thickens to about 11mm, the endometrium sheds, forming menstrual blood that flows out of the uterus. One cycle of endometrial hyperplasia and shedding is completed.
