In a female friend's menstrual cycle, there are several different stages, including the proliferative period, premenstrual period, menstrual period, and secretory period. During different physiological cycles, the endometrium of female friends may undergo some changes. So, what does secretory endometrium mean?
The secretory endometrium refers to the endometrium in the second half of a woman's menstrual cycle, which gradually thickens under the action of hormone levels. And before menstruation, the glands in the body secrete vigorously, so there may be an increase in vaginal secretions, which is a normal physiological phenomenon. However, at this time, the color of the secretion is still milky white and there will be no odor.
The thickness of the female endometrium varies at different physiological stages. After menstruation, it belongs to the proliferative period. At this time, the endometrium will repair the peeled wound under the action of estrogen, and then continue to proliferate and thicken. In addition, the glandular tissue will increase and widen, and gradually bend.
In the premenstrual period, it belongs to the luteal phase degeneration stage, at which point the thickness of the endometrium reaches its limit. If a woman successfully becomes pregnant, the endometrium will further thicken. If there is no pregnancy, the endometrium will shed and bleed, leading to menstruation. After the shedding of the endometrium, its thickness will decrease.
