Patient's question:
Yesterday, while accompanying a friend for a gynecological ultrasound examination, I noticed an "em" written on the report. I don't know what it means, and I'm unsure what the normal range is. Could you please tell me what the normal range for an "em" in a gynecological ultrasound is?Doctor's answer:
I don't know what the reason is, but the vaginal ultrasound primarily reflects most of the data that should be the length and width of the uterus, the thickness of the endometrium, the length of the cervix, except for the length and width of the cyst. Em should be the thickness of the endometrium. It varies with the menstrual cycle. For example, when the period is about to come, it should be 0.8~1.2 cm. After the period is clean, it should be 0.3~0.5 cm. If there are endometrial polyps, they are manifested as non-homogeneous endometrium.
