A member asked:

May i know what is meant by endometrium ?i have fibroids.

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Lining of uterus,: Endometrium is the lining of the uterus that proliferates during the menstrual cycle to prepare for implantation of a fertilized egg and pregnancy. If there is no fertilized egg, then the endometrium sluffs off and is passed out in the form of menses as a period.
