What is endometrium? Anonymous customer's question
Pharmacist's answer:
Endometrium is a layer of tissue that lines the inner wall of the uterus. This tissue is constantly changing according to the menstrual cycle of the female reproductive system. During the menstrual cycle, the endometrium thins and regenerates, and "prepares" for a possible pregnancy. If a woman becomes pregnant, the endometrium develops further to provide a suitable environment for the fertilized egg and further development of the fetus.
If pregnancy does not occur, part of the endometrium is shed and shed with menstruation, and the process begins again. The endometrium is essential for pregnancy, as it is the prerequisite and the place where a fertilized egg implants and then develops into a fetus. If the endometrium is not in optimal condition or if there may be any abnormalities in its development or function, this may affect fertility or the development of pregnancy. In addition, abnormalities in the endometrium, such as an excessively thick or irregular endometrium sometimes also causes health problems such as endometriosis, a disease in which endometrial-like tissue grows outside the uterus, which can cause pain and other problems.
