Patient age: 28
Doctor's answer:
Hello, based on your description, the endometrial thickness one week after an induced abortion is relatively thin, as it is caused by the procedure and needs time to recover to normal. It is recommended to have a follow-up examination after one month to check the endometrial thickness and see how the recovery is progressing, or to wait until after one menstrual period for the follow-up. During the menstrual period, the functional layer of the endometrium is shed while the basal layer is retained. In the proliferative phase, which is from day 6 to day 14 of the menstrual cycle, the normal thickness of the endometrium is approximately 1-3 mm. In the secretory phase, from day 15 to day 28 of the menstrual cycle, the endometrial thickness is approximately 5-7 mm.
