Whether the lining of the uterus is thin or thick can only be determined by an ultrasound examination in the hospital. The thickness of the lining of the uterus in a woman of childbearing age is usually about 3 to 12 mm, and the thickness of the lining of the uterus in a post-menopausal woman is about less than 5 mm.
The thickness of the lining of the uterus can be determined by ultrasound in the hospital. The thickness of the lining of the uterus varies greatly with the menstrual cycle in women of childbearing age.
During the menstrual period the thickness of the endometrium is about 3~5mm, during the proliferative period the thickness of the endometrium is about 5~10mm, during the secretory period the thickness of the endometrium is about 10~12mm, and overall, the thickness of the endometrium varies between 3~12mm.
After menopause, as the level of estrogen and progesterone in a woman’s body decreases, the endometrial lining will thin accordingly, usually less than 5mm. if the endometrial lining suddenly thickens, it is necessary to consider the possibility of benign endometrial hyperplasia, endometrial cancer and other diseases.
If endometrial thickness is found to be abnormal, please follow the doctor’s instructions for follow-up examination and treatment.
