At the age of 45, endometrial thickness of about 17mm may be caused by early pregnancy, endometrial polyps, endometrial cancer, etc. It is recommended to improve the examination, and if necessary, oral medication or surgical treatment.
1. Early pregnancy: the endometrium will gradually thicken in order to allow the fertilized egg to settle smoothly in the state of pregnancy, so the endometrium thickness of 17mm needs to improve the blood and urine pregnancy test to rule out pregnancy.
2. Endometrial polyps: another common cause of endometrial thickening is endometrial polyps, for small size polyps, oral progesterone capsules can be used to perform medicated curettage, and for those with poor results, diagnostic curettage and hysteroscopic endometrial polyp removal are feasible.
3. Endometrial cancer: if the pathology result after diagnostic scraping suggests endometrial cancer, radical surgery should be carried out in time according to the staging.
