Endometrium 15mm is generally thickening of endometrium, which can be considered to be related to various diseases such as endocrine disorders, polycystic ovary syndrome, endometrial cancer or ovarian tumors, etc. The specific etiology needs to be clarified in combination with other examinations.
1. The endometrium is affected by estrogen, in the proliferative stage, the thickness of endometrium can increase from 0.5mm to 3~5mm; in the secretory stage, estrogen and progesterone can make the endometrium continue to thicken, and the thickness of endometrium can reach 10mm in the late stage.
If the endometrium is 15mm, it can be considered to be caused by endocrine dysfunction, at this time, it can be due to the continuous action of estrogen, so that the endometrium is thickened.
2. Polycystic ovary syndrome: in this case, due to the abnormal regulation of hypothalamus-pituitary-ovary axis, no ovulation occurs, and the endometrium may show different degrees of hyperplasia under the long-term stimulation of estrogen.
3. Endometrial cancer: under the long-term action of estrogen without progesterone antagonism, endometrial hyperplasia or atypical hyperplasia can be caused, and carcinoma can also occur, forming endometrial cancer.
4. Ovarian tumor: if ovarian granulosa cell tumor occurs, due to the fact that the tumor can secrete estrogen, it can lead to menstrual disorders, irregular vaginal bleeding, and often combined with endometrial hyperplasia.
When endometrial thickening is found, it is necessary to consult doctor in time to review ultrasound of uterine adnexa, CT (electronic computed tomography) and other related imaging examinations, and carry out diagnostic scraping if necessary, so as to clarify the cause of the disease, and then provide appropriate treatment for the cause and the symptom.
