Is thick endometrium caused by uterine fibroids?

Many people suffer from endometrial thickening, but because they do not want to undergo a hysterectomy, they often give up surgical treatment. The main reason is that they do not pay much attention to this type of disease. Endometrial thickening is mainly caused by excessive estrogen secretion, which often causes an increase in women's menstrual volume. If you do not know how to treat endometrial thickening, be sure to listen to the editor's detailed introduction below.

What are the treatments for endometrial thickening?

1. For young patients with endometrial thickening: Most of them are anovulatory functional uterine bleeding. The basal body temperature should be measured. If it is confirmed to be monophasic anovulation, ovulation induction treatment can be used.

2. For patients with endometrial thickening during the menopausal transition period: it is often anovulatory functional uterine bleeding. If menstruation is infrequent and the amount of blood is heavy or the bleeding time is long after curettage and hemostasis, progesterone treatment should be given every two months, and follow-up observation should be conducted after 3 cycles.

3. For patients with endometrial thickening during the reproductive period: Generally, one curettage can control bleeding. If bleeding still occurs after curettage, hysteroscopy and B-ultrasound should be performed to rule out submucosal fibroids or other organic lesions. Women with polycystic ovary syndrome who may also experience infertility during the reproductive period and clinically manifest as anovulation should be treated as those with polycystic ovary syndrome.

4. For postmenopausal patients with endometrial thickening: they should be asked whether to use estrogen replacement therapy alone. After curettage, replacement therapy can be suspended or progestin can be added.

It can be seen from this that endometrial thickening can be a major or minor problem for women. If it is a normal phenomenon, everyone is happy. If it is a malignant manifestation, the patient should pay attention and must go to the hospital for timely treatment. In addition, doctors say that when abnormal vaginal bleeding, menstrual disorders, etc. occur, it is best for female friends to go to the hospital for diagnosis, as this may also be related to the condition of the endometrium. I hope everyone is in good health.

To sum up, the editor reminds you to relax and keep a happy mood at ordinary times. This is good for your recovery. You also need to eat less high-estrogen foods during this period. You must pay more attention to conditioning at ordinary times. The editor wishes you a speedy recovery.
