Proliferatif faz, uterus adet döngüsünün ikinci aşamasıdır. Adetten sonra başlar ve tipik bir 28 günlük döngüde yaklaşık 6 ila 13 gün sürer.
Bu aşamada, uterus endometriyumu, yumurtalıklarda büyüyen foliküller tarafından salınan östrojenin etkisi altında kendini yeniden inşa eder.
Rahim bezlerinin bazal kısımları da dahil olmak üzere stratum bazal bazal tabakası stratum bazal tabakası menstrüasyondan sağlam bir şekilde kurtulur.
Stratum bazale'deki hücreler hızla bölünür ve yeni bir stratum functionalis tabakası oluşturur.
Endometriyum kalınlaştıkça, endometriyal bezler gelişir ve arteriyoller kıvrılır ve uzar, yeni oluşan stratum functionalis'e nüfuz eder.
Sonuç olarak, endometriyum kadifemsi, kalın ve iyi vaskülarize hale gelir, kalınlığı kabaca iki katına çıkar ve yaklaşık 4-10 mm'ye çıkar.
Bu arada, yumurtalıklardaki olaylar, baskın folikülün bir Graaf folikülüne olgunlaşması ile sonuçlanır.
Sonuç olarak, proliferatif faz, ön hipofiz bezi tarafından salınan luteinize edici hormon seviyelerinde bir artış ile tetiklenen yumurtlama ile sona erer.

Q1: When does the proliferative phase occur in the menstrual cycle?
The proliferative phase begins after menstruation and lasts approximately 6 to 13 days in a typical 28-day cycle. This phase follows the menses phase and precedes ovulation. During this time, the uterine endometrium undergoes reconstruction under the influence of estrogen released by growing ovarian follicles.
Q2: What role does the stratum basale play during the proliferative phase?
The stratum basale, the basal layer of the endometrium, survives menstruation intact and serves as the source for endometrial regeneration. Stem cells within this layer undergo rapid mitosis, creating a new stratum functionalis layer. This regenerative capacity allows the endometrium to rebuild completely during the proliferative phase.
Q3: How does the endometrium change during the proliferative phase?
During the proliferative phase, the endometrium thickens from approximately 2 mm to 4–10 mm, roughly doubling in thickness. Endometrial glands develop and become more numerous, while arterioles coil and lengthen to penetrate the newly formed stratum functionalis. These vascular changes enhance blood supply, giving the endometrium a velvety, thick, and well-vascularized appearance.
Q4: What hormonal changes trigger the end of the proliferative phase?
The proliferative phase concludes with ovulation, which is triggered by a surge in luteinizing hormone released by the anterior pituitary gland. This hormonal surge causes the dominant follicle to mature into a Graafian follicle and rupture, releasing the oocyte. The luteinizing hormone surge marks the transition from the proliferative phase to the secretory phase.
Q5: Why is estrogen essential during the proliferative phase?
Estrogen, released by growing follicles in the ovaries, drives endometrial reconstruction during the proliferative phase. It stimulates stem cells in the stratum basale to divide rapidly and promotes the development of endometrial glands and blood vessels. Without adequate estrogen, the endometrium cannot rebuild properly to prepare for potential implantation.
Q6: What is the relationship between follicle development and the proliferative phase?
Follicle maturation in the ovaries occurs simultaneously with endometrial reconstruction during the proliferative phase. Growing follicles produce estrogen, which stimulates endometrial thickening and gland development. The phase culminates when the dominant follicle matures into a Graafian follicle, triggering ovulation and ending the proliferative phase.
Q7: How does vascularization of the endometrium support the proliferative phase?
Arterioles coil and lengthen during the proliferative phase, penetrating the newly formed stratum functionalis to enhance blood supply to the endometrium. This increased vascularization delivers oxygen and nutrients necessary for gland development and tissue thickening. The well-vascularized endometrium becomes prepared to support potential embryo implantation.
