Patient's question:
Female, 22 years old, for the past month, I have been having sex with my husband every day. Now I finally got pregnant and feel that the endometrium has thickened. Will the endometrium be thickened after 10 days of pregnancy?Doctor's answer:
After pregnancy, the endometrium will thicken. This is usually around the time of pregnancy, which is about two weeks after menstruation. The endometrium becomes noticeably thicker during this period. After that, it generally continues to thicken. From the last menstrual period to the time when the next period should arrive, the endometrium keeps growing. By the time the period is due, if it does not come, the endometrium will thin. If it continues to thicken, this usually indicates pregnancy. Of course, pathological thickening of the endometrium should be ruled out.
