The endometrial thickness of 0.6cm after several years of menopause is considered abnormal and may be related to medication or endometrial pathology, etc. Further examination is needed.
The thickness of the endometrium is closely related to the estrogen level, and the endometrium is relatively thicker when the estrogen level is higher. When estrogen levels are high, the endometrium is relatively thicker. After several years of menopause, ovarian function has declined and no longer secretes estrogen, and due to the loss of estrogen support, the endometrium tends to be thinner, with the thickness of the endometrium in the majority of women being less than 0.3cm, and generally no more than 0.5cm.
The endometrial thickness of 0.6cm in several years after menopause may be caused by the long-term and irregular use of estrogen preparations, such as estradiol valerate, etc. Exogenous estrogen can cause endometrial thickening. In addition, with chronic endometritis, endometrial polyps can be formed under the long-term stimulation of inflammation, and endometrial thickening can also be seen during ultrasound examination.
Postmenopausal endometrial thickening may also be caused by endometrial cancer and other diseases, this disease occurs in endocrine disorders, non-ovulatory patients, due to the body’s high level of estrogen, and no progesterone resistance can be caused by the endometrium to continue to proliferate and induce this disease. If the premenopausal history of long-term menstrual irregularities, at the same time there are obesity, hypertension, diabetes and other diseases, the incidence of higher.
After menopause found endometrial thickening, should go to the hospital as soon as possible to check, under the guidance of a professional doctor for segmental diagnostic scraping, hysteroscopy, etc. to clarify the cause, to carry out targeted treatment, so as not to delay the condition.
