The uterus of the female is almost the most important member of her body. It is the source of life and reproduction on this earth, the cradle of embryos and the main source of oxygen and food for the fetus. Without it, human life will cease completely.
And the complete creation of God who created everything created to make this part protected from the inside and make it in the best image, hence the creation of the uterus and inside the inner lining … What is the lining of the uterus?
The endometrium is the soft inner lining of the uterus wall in the female responsible for fetal reception. Its function is to protect the inner wall of the uterus from adhesion, so that the uterus remains hollow from the inside.
The thickness of the lining of the uterus, blood vessels and secretions of the glands increases during the period of the menstrual cycle, in preparation for the reception of embryo implantation if fertilized in advance.
In rare cases, they leave some tissues of the lining of the uterus to settle elsewhere in the female reproductive system such as the fallopian tube or lying in the intestine or even in the bladder. This condition is known as “migratory lining” or uterine endothelium, which causes hemorrhage and possibly internal adhesions , And sometimes severe pain.
The lining of the uterus contains two inner layers: the basal layer and the functional layer.
Endometrial thickness:
The lining of the uterus becomes thick on the alert hormones to be ready for pregnancy, but if fertilization does not decrease hormone secretion, which leads to the descent of the thick lining of the uterus in the form of bloody hemorrhage of the vagina, which is known as menstruation menstrual cycle.
Natural endometrial thickness:
The lining of the uterus varies in thickness depending on the days of the cycle. During the menstrual cycle, the thickness of the uterus is less than 5 mm. The thickness of the uterus during the 14 days of the cycle is 15 mm. In the second half of the cycle, the thickness of the uterus varies from 15-28 mm.
Cause of increased endometrial thickness:
Increasing the thickness of the lining of the uterus in some women is acute bleeding caused by the rise of the hormones of femininity, resulting in cracking in the lining of the uterus and the incidence of uterine bleeding.
Symptoms of endometrial thickness:
1) severe pain accompanying the menstrual cycle can not be tolerated
2. Severe bleeding
3. Pain when urinating or defecating
4. Infertility “non-reproduction”
