Patient's question:
Doctor, what is the normal thickness of the endometrium in women with ectopic pregnancy? Can it be too thick to get pregnant?Doctor's answer:
The thickness of the endometrium varies during different menstrual cycles. After menstruation just ends, the endometrium becomes thinner. During ovulation, the endometrium thickens with hormonal changes. Generally, a thickness of around 5mm is normal. From the end of menstruation to the premenstrual period, the endometrium gradually thickens. In the premenstrual period, it may thicken to about 10mm, which is normal. If it becomes excessively thick, it may be related to endocrine disorders, which can have some impact on childbirth. A thicker endometrium is beneficial for the implantation of the fertilized egg, but it still needs some conditioning.
