Patient's question:
I went to the hospital for an ultrasound examination today. The doctor said my endometrial thickness is abnormal, a bit thin, which is not good for the baby. I need to pay more attention. Could you please tell me what is the normal thickness of the endometrium in an ultrasound?Doctor's answer:
Because everyone's physical condition is different, the menstrual cycle is also different, so it will change constantly with time. Generally, the normal thickness of the endometrium varies between 5 to 10 millimeters. The thickness of the endometrium also differs at different periods. During the proliferative phase, the endometrium is about 9-10 millimeters thick. During the secretory phase, the thickness of the endometrium is approximately 5 to 6 millimeters. During the menstrual phase, the thickness of the endometrium can reach 8 to 10 millimeters. It is recommended to use traditional Chinese medicine or hormone therapy to artificially regulate the menstrual cycle based on the examination results.
