Patient's question:
I got married last year. Recently, I've been experiencing lower abdominal pain, especially during my period. I'm very worried about it affecting my fertility, and I'm also extremely sensitive to cold and coldness. Is it normal for the endometrium to be 0.8 cm thick before menstruation?Doctor's answer:
This thickness is normal during this period.1. Menstrual phase: The functional layer of the endometrium is shed while the basal layer is retained.
2. Proliferative phase: Days 6-14 of the menstrual cycle, the endometrium thickens to about 1-3 mm.
3. Secretory phase: Days 15-28 of the menstrual cycle, the endometrium thickens to about 5-7 mm.
The irregularity of menstruation in adolescent girls is mainly due to unstable sex hormones, not a pathological cause. It is recommended not to worry. Maintain a relaxed mood and keep the external genital hygiene to prevent infection. As age grows, menstruation will become more regular.
