Thick endometrium of 1.4 cm needs to undergo a scraping surgery?

Patient's question:

Should a D&C surgery be performed if the endometrial thickness is 1.4 cm?

Doctor's answer:

Hello, the endometrium is divided into three phases:
1. Proliferative Phase: Days 5-14 of the menstrual cycle, the endometrium thickens from 1-2mm to 3-5mm, with an uneven surface.
2. Secretory Phase: Days 15-19 of the menstrual cycle, until the late secretory phase, the endometrium becomes thick and spongy, measuring about 1.0-1.2cm in thickness.
3. Menstrual Phase: Days 1-4 of the menstrual cycle.
In your case, it is generally considered appropriate to undergo a D&C (dilation and curettage). Post-surgery, it is important to prevent infection.
