Endometrial thickness is also an abnormal condition that can occur in our daily lives, not only affecting women's health, but also endangering pregnancy.
Endometrial thickness and pregnancy
The zygote absorbs nutrients and oxygen from the fluid secreted by the fallopian tube, and continues cell division. At the same time, the zygote gradually moves towards the uterine cavity, and when it reaches the uterine cavity 3 to 4 days later, it develops into a multi cell entity, which is shaped like a mulberry, so it is called a morula. Mulberry embryos continue to undergo cell division in the uterine cavity to form blastocysts, which enter the endometrium about 6-8 days after fertilization, known as implantation and cultivation.
5-6 days after fertilization, the zygote develops into a terminal blastocyst, which is implanted through three processes of localization, adhesion and invasion. The late stage blastocyst first approaches the endometrium and begins to differentiate by adhering to it. The differentiated trophoblasts invade the endometrium, inner one-third of the muscular layer, and blood vessels, and the blastocyst is completely embedded in the endometrium, covering it. Since then, the implantation has been completed.
At present, the mechanism of embryo implantation is not fully understood, but the factors for successful embryo implantation include high-quality embryos, receptive endometrium, and appropriate endocrine environment. When the zygote is implanted, women are generally in the secretory phase of endometrium, and the thickness of endometrium is 5-10mm.
Women must be checked before pregnancy. Too thin or thick endometrium is not conducive to the implantation of zygote, which directly affects pregnancy. When there is an abnormality in the female endometrium, it is necessary to be pregnant after treatment. Women should also pay attention to maintenance regularly after pregnancy. If any abnormalities in the endometrium are found during pregnancy, they must seek medical attention immediately to avoid affecting the development of the fetus.
After pregnancy, the endometrium undergoes certain changes. The endometrium is thicker than before pregnancy, within a range of approximately 10-12mm. The thickening of the endometrium has a certain protective effect on the fetus.
The hazards of endometrial thickening
1. Endocrine disorders and premature facial failure: Endometrial thickening is related to hormone levels in women's bodies. Endometrial proliferation is mainly caused by endocrine disorders, which can easily cause facial spots and skin yellowing in women.
2. Impact on female pregnancy: The ovarian cycle produces eggs to secrete estrogen, the endometrial blood circulation is enhanced, the endometrium is thickened, and the hyperplasia endometrium may affect female pregnancy.
3. Massive bleeding shock: Clinical common symptoms of endometrial thickening include irregular vaginal bleeding, severe condition with large bleeding volume, and shock.
