Patient's question:
Today's ultrasound suggests that the endometrium is clear and about 0.5 cm thick. What does the thickness of the endometrium indicate? What is the optimal thickness?Doctor's answer:
Hello, the normal thickness of the endometrium generally varies between 5-10mm. The thickness of the endometrium also differs during different periods: during the proliferative phase, the endometrium is about 9-10mm thick. During the secretory phase, the thickness of the endometrium is approximately 5-6mm. During the menstrual phase, the thickness of the endometrium can reach 8-10mm. The occurrence of gynecological diseases not only affects women's physical health but can also lead to the development of gynecological conditions. Therefore, it is best to have a vaginal discharge examination at the gynecology department of a hospital. After identifying the cause, symptomatic treatment should be administered. Additionally, it is important to pay attention to personal hygiene and maintain cleanliness in the perineal area.
