Patient's question:
I have an itchy lower body, and my underwear is always yellow. What's going on? Is it normal for the thickness of the menstrual pad to be 5-6mm during menstruation?Doctor's answer:
The normal thickness of the endometrium is generally between 5-10 mm. The thickness of the endometrium changes continuously throughout the menstrual cycle and is not constant. Specifically:1. Menstrual phase: The functional layer of the endometrium is shed, leaving the basal layer.
2. Proliferative phase: From day 6 to 14 of the menstrual cycle, the endometrium thickens to 1-3 mm.
3. Secretory phase: From day 15 to 28 of the menstrual cycle, the endometrium thickens to 5-7 mm.
