Uterine endometrium lining the inner surface of the body responsible for the reproduction of progeny. Depending on the phase of the menstrual cycle and the effects of sex hormones shell changes its structure. Therefore, a three-layer endometrium - the normal state in one period of the cycle and pathology in the other. Women, leading pregnancy calendar, it is necessary to monitor closely the terms and in a timely manner to respond to the appearance of deviations.

definition
For certain stages of the menstrual cycle, three-layer endometrium is the norm. His status is necessary for conception. It is divided into three layers:
- Basal layer - is not changed for a month and has a higher density.
- Functional - less dense, loose, provided with a large number of blood vessels. In menstruating he rejected with the blood, and then rises again.
- Epithelial - the thinnest layer that is independent of hormone action.
The thickness of the layers of the endometrium
It is changing with each passing day cycle. And when a woman makes the ultrasound, doctors collate to performance standards consistent with the mucous membrane phase, which is the body. With a large deviation talking about pathology.So, for the conception of a good size endometrial considered 10-13 mm. And in the case of pregnancy, he will continue to grow.
cycle phase
The three-layer inner lining of the reproductive organ in a healthy organism corresponds to the first phase of the menstrual cycle. During this period, under the influence of the hormone estrogen lining of the uterus grows and regenerates active. After recovering the normal thickness monthly functional layer.
In the period of ovulation in the female body reigns progesterone. Through the influence of this hormone lining reproductive organ becomes homogeneous structure. At this time, ultrasound is not noticeable separation into layers of the mucous membrane. And if a three-layer endometrium is different in the second phase of the cycle, it is possible to develop in the body is broken progesterone, leading to infertility.
Thus, if the state of the three-layer does not coincide with endometrial menstrual phase, it is a sign pathology, as a result of which the embryo can not attach to the uterine wall, the woman can not become pregnant. But this deviation is not the only one possible.
hypoplasia
When there is underdevelopment of the two layers of three-layer cover reproductive organ (basal and functional), then we are talking about hypoplasia. In this condition, a thin endometrium becomes unable to keep a fertilized egg.
disease causes can be:
- wrong synthesis of hormones;
- poor blood supply to the genital organs;
- infection or inflammation in the pelvis;
- abortion or surgical procedures;
- heredity.
Thin endometrium manifests itself:
- prolonged absence of pregnancy after unprotected intercourse;
- spontaneous abortion;
- appearance of the first menstruation after 16 years;
- weak scalp;
- lack of orgasm.
If you suspect that the disease should go to the gynecologist to get tested. After all, if the diagnosis is confirmed, it should be as soon as possible to begin treatment.
hyperplasia
at Pumping endometrial the inner lining of the uterus grows excessively and does not meet the parameters that should be a healthy woman. This disease is often accompanied by intermenstrual bleeding.
If the thickness of the lining does not change the whole month, perhaps this is a manifestation of the chronic form of inflammation of the endometrium or endometritis.
Any of these pathologies treated, and the sooner it reveal, the less force will have to spend to fight the disease.
