How to determine the thickness of the endometrium

How to determine the thickness of the endometrium? Everyone knows that endometrial thickness is a disease that seriously affects women's health. How to determine whether there is endometrial thickness so as to achieve early detection and early treatment? In fact, endometrial thickness has symptoms. We can understand its symptoms and confirm the diagnosis through examination.

Characteristics of endometrial thickness:

1. Excessive menstruation: In endometriosis, the menstrual volume often increases and the menstrual period is prolonged. This may be due to the increase of endometrium, but it is often accompanied by ovarian dysfunction.

2. Dysmenorrhea: It is a common and prominent symptom, mostly secondary, that is, since the onset of endometriosis, patients complain that they did not have pain during menstruation in the past, but began to experience dysmenorrhea at a certain period. It can occur before, during and after menstruation. Some dysmenorrhea is so severe that they need to stay in bed or take medication to relieve the pain. The pain often worsens with the menstrual cycle.

3. Bladder symptoms: more common in patients with endometriosis extending to the bladder, with symptoms of periodic frequent urination and painful urination; when the bladder mucosa is invaded, periodic hematuria may occur.

4. Pain during sexual intercourse: Endometriosis occurs in the rectouterine fossa and vaginal rectal septum, causing swelling of the surrounding tissues and affecting sexual life, and the discomfort during sexual intercourse becomes more severe before menstruation.

Endometrial thickness test method:

Method 1: B-ultrasound examination: B-ultrasound is an effective method for auxiliary diagnosis. The sonogram of endometrial cysts shows granular and fine echoes. When there are endometrial fragments inside, it is easy to be similar to the echo of hair in the fat of teratoma. Sometimes there are partitions inside, and the echoes of each cyst cavity are different.

Method 2: Laparoscopic examination: This is one of the main methods of diagnosis. Laparoscopy can directly peer into the pelvic cavity, and a clear diagnosis can be made by seeing the ectopic lesions. The examination can also be used to stage the disease, making it easier to decide on a treatment plan.

Method 3: X-ray examination: Pelvic pneumatic angiography and hysterosalpingography can be performed. Most patients have adhesions of the internal reproductive organs. This symptom is most likely to be implanted in the rectouterine pouch, especially the side position of pelvic pneumatic angiography is more prominent. The fallopian tube and ovary can form adhesions, which will be more clearly shown in pneumatic angiography.

Therefore, the examination of endometrial thickness is comprehensive. Patients must have a good prevention and treatment mentality, develop good living habits and a good diet in daily life, strive to restore health as soon as possible, and stay away from the suffering of endometrial thickness.
