What does «engrosamiento del endometrio» mean in Spanish?
- Increase in the thickness of the endometrium (internal walls of the uterus), which normally thickens a little once a month, waiting for the fertilized egg to attach to it and for the baby to start growing. When there is no pregnancy, all this excess is expelled during menstruation and the uterus is again clean and ready for the next ovulation. When menstruation ends, the endometrium should measure approximately 2 to 3 mm thick.
