What causes thickening of the uterine wall?

Generally, thickening of the uterine wall may be caused by natural thickening before menstruation, thickening in early pregnancy, endocrine disorders, endometritis, or adenomyosis. It is recommended to seek timely medical attention and follow medical advice for treatment. Specific details are as follows:

1. Natural thickening before menstruation: During a woman's menstrual cycle, the endometrium undergoes cyclical changes. Before menstruation, due to elevated estrogen levels, the endometrium naturally thickens in preparation for implantation of a fertilized egg. No special treatment is required, as this is considered a normal physiological change.

2. Thickening in early pregnancy: After conception, a woman's menstruation stops, and the endometrium gradually thickens to provide favorable conditions for embryonic development. Along with amenorrhea, symptoms such as nausea and vomiting (early pregnancy reactions) may occur. No special treatment is required, as this is also a normal physiological change.

3. Endocrine disorders: Excessive estrogen secretion or hormonal imbalances within the body may lead to abnormal thickening of the endometrium due to prolonged estrogen stimulation. Factors such as obesity, high levels of mental stress, and thyroid dysfunction can cause hormonal imbalances, leading to menstrual irregularities. Under a doctor's guidance, medications such as Jingxin Oral Liquid, Motherwort Granules, and Bromocriptine Mesylate Tablets may be used to balance estrogen levels.

4. Endometritis: When the endometrium becomes infected with inflammation, it can cause abnormal thickening of the endometrium. Inflammatory stimulation may lead to congestion, edema of the endometrium, and the secretion of large amounts of inflammatory exudate, resulting in lower abdominal pain. Under medical guidance, medications such as Roxithromycin Capsules, Cefuroxime Axetil Granules, and Azithromycin Tablets may be used for anti-infective treatment.

5. Adenomyosis: Adenomyosis is a diffuse or localized lesion caused by the invasion of endometrial glands and stroma into the myometrium. These ectopic endometrial tissues undergo cyclical proliferation, shedding, and bleeding within the uterine muscle layer, causing abnormal proliferation and thickening of the uterine smooth muscle and resulting in heavy menstrual bleeding. Under medical guidance, medications such as Ibuprofen Sustained-Release Capsules, Danazol Capsules, and Triptolide Capsules may be used to provide anti-inflammatory effects, inhibit ovarian function, and counteract progesterone activity.

In daily life, it is important to maintain adequate sleep and a positive mental state to promote physical recovery.
