The inner lining of the uterus is the endometrium. Each month before menstruation, this layer becomes thicker in preparation for pregnancy. Menstrual discharge occurs when pregnancy does not occur. Fluctuations in these endometrial hormones can lead to thinning of the lining and infertility. This layer usually thins during menopause.
If the estrogen hormone increases during childbearing age and the lining becomes thicker, the use of birth control pills that are high in the progesterone hormone thins it. This layer, which becomes thicker during pregnancy, provides nutrients and oxygen to the growing baby.
Therefore, those suffering from infertility and resorting to artificial insemination undergo tests to confirm the thickness of this membrane. This layer, which should be 6 to 14 millimeters thick, can lead to endometrial cancer if it is too thick or too thick. Complications like fibroids, cysts and endometriosis can also arise. Endometrial cancer is more common in women aged 55 to 65 years.

TREATMENT MENTHODS:
If the disease is diagnosed at an early stage, as soon as symptoms appear, the outcome is better. If the disease is detected at an early stage, the disease can be controlled with medication. Surgery is necessary if the disease is beyond the first stage.
Keyhole surgery can be done in the first stage depending on the health condition. When the disease progresses beyond the first stage, the hysterectomy is performed and chemotherapy and radiotherapy are given depending on the stage of the disease. Hormone therapy may also be given depending on the severity of the disease.
FOLLOW THESE PRECAUTIONS:
Who used “Tamoxifen” drugs for breast cancer, Women who have used, those who have received radiation therapy to the lumbar area for other reasons, those who have taken a lot of hormone therapy, those who are over 55 years of age and do not stop menstruating, and those who smoke should undergo appropriate diagnostic tests.
