Generally speaking, the thickness of the endometrium should be less than 5 millimeters after menopause.
After menopause, a woman’s reproductive organs will atrophy and the endometrium will become thinner due to the decline in hormone levels, especially estrogen, and the failure of ovarian function. Usually the thickness of the endometrium should be less than 5 millimeters after menopause.
If the thickness of the endometrium is greater than 5 millimeters, the endometrium is thickened. If the endometrial thickening is caused by organic diseases, such as endometrial hyperplasia, endometrial polyps, or even endometrial cancer, it is necessary to consult the doctor in time and improve the relevant examinations, such as hormone level examination, segmental diagnostic scraping, and hysteroscopy, etc., in order to clarify the cause of the disease and carry out the appropriate treatment.
If the thickness of the endometrium is abnormal after menopause, you should go to the gynecology department of the hospital in time for analysis and judgment by the doctor, and if necessary, the doctor will give you individualized treatment, and you should not make judgment on your own in order to avoid delaying the disease.
