What is the normal thickness of the endometrium?

What is the normal thickness of the endometrium?

1. The normal thickness of the endometrium is generally 5-10mm.

2. Under normal circumstances, the thickness of the endometrium will change with the menstrual cycle. The endometrium is affected by ovarian hormones and has cyclical changes of proliferation, secretion, and shedding. During the ovulation period, as the estrogen level increases, the endometrium can reach 10 mm; during the secretory period, the endometrium continues to increase under the influence of progesterone, and can reach a maximum of 16 mm; during the menstrual period, the endometrium naturally sheds and becomes thinner, with a thickness of about 3-5 mm.

3. If the endometrium is thinner than 3 mm, it will affect the implantation of the fertilized egg and make it difficult to get pregnant. If pregnancy is necessary, estrogen replacement therapy can be carried out under the guidance of a doctor to promote the repair and thickening of the endometrium and increase the pregnancy rate.

4. If the endometrium is abnormally thickened to more than 16 mm, abnormal endometrial hyperplasia or ovarian lesions may occur. If vaginal bleeding is irregular, you need to go to the hospital immediately, improve relevant examinations, make a clear diagnosis, and proceed with the next step of treatment under the guidance of a doctor.

5. Determine whether the thickness of the endometrium is normal based on the menstrual cycle. If the B-ultrasound examination finds that the thickness of the endometrium is abnormal, you should go to the hospital in time for early diagnosis and treatment to avoid delaying the condition.
