【Medical Q&A】Is it difficult for women to get pregnant with thick endometrium? What causes it?

The endometrium is like the soil of fetal development; thinning and thickening will inevitably have an impact. Therefore, women with endometrial problems must be paid attention to. So, are women with thick endometrium not easily pregnant?

Does thickening of the endometrium lead to infertility?

The endometrium thickens, and if left untreated, the chance of pregnancy is small! Because thickening of the endometrium is usually associated with excessive ovarian estrogen secretion and progesterone deficiency.

If the ovarian hormone is disturbed, a large amount of estrogen will stimulate the endometrium, which will lead to thickening of the endometrium. When the endometrium is too thick, the fertilized egg is not easy to implant.

What are the causes of endometrial thickening

Endocrine disorders

Estrogen hypersecretion, polycystic ovary syndrome, hyperthyroidism, use of exogenous estrogens, infertility or infertility, and delayed menopause. The secretion of estrogen in women is uneven, and the endometrium is affected by estrogen for a long time, but there is no conversion of the periodic secretion period, and the endometrium will thicken.

Gynecological diseases

If a woman suffers from ovarian cysts, uterine fibroids, endometriosis, endometritis, endometrial polyps, submucosal fibroids, endometrial hyperplasia, endometrial cancer, etc., it can also lead to thickening of the endometrium.

Mental stress

If you are in a state of mental tension for a long time, it is easy to have estrogen secretion disorders in the body, which is easy to cause endometrial lesions in the long run.

Overweight

Overweight can lead to endocrine disorders in women, which in turn leads to abnormal estrogen secretion in the ovaries and eventually thickening of the endometrium.

Ovarian dysfunction

Ovarian dysfunction is one of the important causes of thickening of the endometrium, often manifested as irregular uterine bleeding, and some patients also show shortened menstrual cycles, prolonged menstrual periods, and sometimes bleeding time as long as 1 month.
