What is Uterine Wall Thickening?

Uterine wall thickening is an abnormal thickening of the lining of the uterus, called the endometrium. This is usually caused by hormonal imbalances and can sometimes be a precursor to serious conditions such as endometrial cancer.

Causes of thickening of the uterine wall

1. Hormonal Changes: In particular, an excess of the hormone estrogen can lead to thickening of the uterine wall.
2. Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS): PCOS can cause hormonal imbalances and thickening of the uterine wall.
3. Obesity Excess fatty tissue can affect hormonal balance and trigger uterine wall thickening.
4. Hormonal Therapies: Long-term estrogen therapy or hormone replacement therapy can lead to thickening of the uterine wall.
5. Endometrial Hyperplasia: Abnormal growth and thickening of the endometrium can also cause uterine wall thickening.

Symptoms of thickening of the uterine wall

1. Excessive Menstrual Bleeding: There may be more bleeding than usual during menstrual periods.
2. Painful Menstrual Periods: Severe abdominal pain and cramps may occur.
3. Occasional Bleeding Vaginal bleeding may occur in the postmenopausal period.
4. Infertility Thickening of the uterine wall can cause infertility problems.

Treatment of thickening of the uterine wall

1. Hormonal Therapies: Hormonal treatments with a combination of estrogen and progestin can control uterine wall thickening.
2. Regular Checkups: Your doctor can monitor the thickness of the uterine wall with regular endometrial biopsies or ultrasonography.
3. Surgical Intervention: Surgical intervention may be necessary in case of endometrial hyperplasia or cancer.
4. Lifestyle Changes: A healthy diet, regular exercise and weight control can help manage uterine wall thickening.
