Patient's question:
My ultrasound report states:Findings:
The uterus is anteverted. The cross-sectional size is 5.85.34.5 cm, with normal morphology. The muscular echo is uniform, the endometrium is centrally located, and its thickness is 1.4 cm. No significant abnormalities are observed in the bilateral adnexa.
Ultrasonography suggests:
1. The endometrium is slightly thickened.
2. No significant abnormalities are noted in the bilateral adnexa.
What does this mean? Do I have a health problem?
What does "bilateral adnexa" mean? I started having sex in March of this year and have only one sexual partner! The first time, I did not have bleeding.
Doctor's answer:
Endometrial hyperplasia, also known as endometrial hyperplasia, refers to a disease where the endometrium grows excessively due to inflammation, endocrine disorders, or the stimulation of certain drugs. Generally, the normal thickness of the endometrium is 8-10 mm. The thickness of the normal endometrium varies continuously throughout the menstrual cycle and is not constant. The basal layer is not affected by the changes in ovarian hormones during the menstrual cycle and does not shed during menstruation. The functional layer is influenced by ovarian hormones and exhibits cyclical changes, undergoing necrosis and shedding during menstruation. For women who have not given birth, medication is often the primary treatment method, while surgical treatment may be considered for postmenopausal women. Treatment can be adjusted according to individual conditions under the guidance of a doctor.
