The womb has two layers, one of which is called the endometrium. You would find it lining the insides of the womb. However, not only does it act as the inner walls of the womb, the endometrium is also a very good indicator of whether hormonal problems are present.
The structure of the endometrium, and its thickness, changes with the menstrual cycle, triggered by the hormonal responses in the body. When a woman is pregnant, the endometrial walls will thicken in response to the increased estrogen to prepare for the fetal growth. In contrast, when fertilization did not occur, the endometrium will thin in response to the increased progesterone, which would be the blood flow that came out during your period.
This kind of biological checkup is also called a biopsy, and it is what we offer: one of the better, and more accurate ways of telling what’s going on in your womb and body in general. Consult our doctor to get a picture of what treatment and plans you should take.
