How common is thick endometrium?

Thick Endometrium

Thick endometrium or endometrial hyperplasia is a condition where the uterus lining causes heavy or abnormal bleeding. This can expose you to the risk of endometrial cancer or uterine cancer. Thick endometrium usually occurs during or after the menopause. Progestin therapy helps to relieve the symptoms. Women who are at risk for cancer may choose to get a hysterectomy. Endometrial hyperplasia is also a fertility issue in the female reproductive system. The lining of the uterus is known as endometrium which becomes unusually thick because of having too many cells (hyperplasia). Infertility, miscarriages and implantation failure are some of the fertility issues with thick endometrium.
