Will thickening in the uterus lead to menstruation?

Patient's question:

I am 43 years old this year. I have had endometrial hyperplasia for over 2 years. I have had two D&Cs. I have severe anemia. My period doesn't stop. The last conservative treatment. I took mefenamic acid for 3 months and mifepristone for 2 months. It has been more than 4 and a half months since my last period. The symptoms of menopause are very obvious. Can I still have my period? What kind of medicine is there?

Doctor's answer:

Hello, the thickness of the endometrium changes with the menstrual cycle. Generally, it is around 1 cm when menstruation occurs. In your case, the endometrium is thinner, making menstruation less likely to occur. The thickness of the endometrium is related to the menstrual cycle: on days 5-7 of the cycle, it is about 1-2 mm; on days 11-14, it is about 3-5 mm. During ovulation, it is around 8-9 mm, and 1-2 days after ovulation, it is about 11-12 mm. Before menstruation, it is approximately 15-19 mm. Please compare and see. Therefore, it is generally accurate to check the endometrium 2 to 3 days before menstruation. It is recommended to follow medical advice and receive standardized treatment.
