The female endometrium generally exhibits periodic changes, and the periodic thickening and shedding of the endometrium lead to the occurrence of menstruation. But there may also be some abnormal conditions in the endometrium, such as thick uterine flesh membrane in some women. So, what is the reason for thick uterine flesh membrane?
1. Ovarian dysfunction: If a woman's ovarian function is disrupted, it can easily lead to abnormal thickening of the endometrium, manifested as shortened and prolonged menstrual cycles. Sometimes menstruation can last for more than a month.
2. Periodic changes: Thickening of the endometrium in women may be caused by periodic changes in hormones, which are a normal physiological response. The thickening of the endometrium on the day before menstruation is the cause of menstruation. During this period, it is important to pay attention to keeping warm and rest well.
3. Overweight: Obese women are also prone to thick uterine membranes because the adrenal glands secrete a large amount of androstenedione, which is converted into estrone in adipose tissue. This can easily lead to a significant increase in serum levels of estrone. The estrogen like effect will continuously stimulate the endometrium, causing thickening of the endometrium.
4. Precancerous lesions of the uterus: If a woman has precancerous lesions of the uterus, the endometrium will also be thicker after menstruation. At this time, curettage examination is needed, and further measures should be taken based on the specific examination results. If it is pathological, immediate menstrual adjustment treatment is needed to promote ovulation treatment.
