Definition of Proliferative. Proliferative: Growing and increasing in number rapidly. For example, the lymphoproliferative disorders are diseases in which there is malignant growth of lymphoid cells and of cells from the reticuloendothelial system (which take up and sequester inert particles).
The proliferative phase starts the rebuilding process. During this phase, the functional zone of the endometrium increases in thickness as it prepares for the potential implantation of a fertilized egg. The growth and organization of the functional zone is stimulated by estrogen from the ovaries.
