Hyper-Stimulation of the Endometrial Thickness and Egg Relaeseof Women between the Ages of 18-46 years in Imo State, Nigeria

Abstract

The uterus is a dynamic tissue under the control of ovarian steroids, estrogen and progesterone, it comprises of endometrial layer of the uterus which undergoes proliferation, secretion and menstrual cycle to reach the receptive state in the implantation of the embryo. Endometrial thickness and growth during ovarian stimulation is a possible predator of implantation in invitro fertilization.
Objective: To ascertain the endometrial thickness and number of ovulation egg released by hyper-stimulation.
Research Design: The study population contains 10 women aged 18-46 years. Groups were randomly selected from clients that came to seek for medical help in vaden specialist clinic, Owerri, Imo State Nigeria.
Result: The age group 18-25 had the highest thickness of endometrium (45MM thick) while the age group 36-40 had the least thickness of endometrium (7MM thick). The age group 20-25 produced the greatest quantity of eggs (53.8%) while the age group 36-40 produced the least quantity of eggs (0.77%).
