What is endometrial double layer thickness?

After a physical examination, some women will find that the thickness of their endometrium is much thicker than before. The doctor said that the endometrium is double-layer thick. Why does this happen? In fact, most women experience this situation because of abortion. So what is our normal thickness? How thick is it to get pregnant? Let me introduce it to you below, I hope you will benefit from it.

The normal thickness of the endometrium is different at different stages of the menstrual cycle. If the endometrium is thick, menstruation will be painful and the fertilized egg will not be easy to implant. Generally speaking, the normal thickness of the endometrium is 0.2-1.0 cm. During menstruation, the functional layer of the endometrium is shed and the basal layer is preserved. The proliferative phase is from the 6th to the 14th day of menstruation, and the normal thickness of the endometrium is about 1-3mm. The secretory phase is from the 15th to the 28th day of the menstrual cycle, and the thickness of the endometrium is about 5-7mm. However, the thickness of the endometrium of some women is obviously inconsistent with the normal thickness after examination. Then the thin hyperplasia of the endometrium can lead to female infertility and some may even cause endometrial cancer.

Endometrial hyperplasia is a method for treating endometrial hyperplasia. It can also be used to treat endometrial hyperplasia and endometrial polyps. The main functions of Endometrial Elimination Grass are to promote blood circulation and remove blood stasis, disperse nodules and eliminate symptoms, and to regulate Qi and relieve stagnation, and strengthen the body as auxiliary functions, so as to eliminate the symptoms of irregular menstruation, inhibit endometrial growth, and restore normal uterine function. The normal cyclical changes in the thickness of the endometrium can be divided into three phases: 1. Proliferative phase: the 5th to 14th day of the menstrual cycle, which is equivalent to the stage of follicle maturation. Under the action of estrogen during the follicular phase, endometrial glands and interstitial cells proliferate. The proliferative stage is divided into three stages: early, middle and late.

1) Early proliferative phase: Day 5-7 of the menstrual cycle. The proliferation and repair of the endometrium begins during the menstrual period. During this period, the endometrium is relatively thin, only 1 to 2 mm. Glandular epithelial cells are cuboidal or low columnar. The stroma is dense and the cells are star-shaped. The arterioles in the interstitium are straight and thin-walled.

2) Mid-proliferative phase: 8th to 10th day of the menstrual cycle. This stage is characterized by obvious interstitial edema; the number of glands increases, they grow, and they become curved; the glandular epithelial cells proliferate actively, the cells are columnar, and they show signs of division.

3) Late proliferative phase: 11th to 14th day of the menstrual cycle. During this period, the normal thickness of the endometrium increases to 3-5mm, and the surface is uneven and slightly wavy. The epithelial cells are tall columnar, the glandular epithelium continues to grow, the number of nuclear divisions increases, the gland becomes longer, and forms a curved shape. The interstitial cells are star-shaped and combined into a network; the tissue edema is obvious, the arterioles are slightly curved, and the lumen is enlarged.

2. Secretory phase: After the corpus luteum is formed, the endometrium shows a secretory reaction under the action of progesterone. The secretory phase is also divided into three phases: early, middle, and late

1) Early secretory phase: Day 15-19 of the menstrual cycle. During this stage, the endometrial glands are longer and more curved. Small vesicles containing glycogen begin to appear under the nuclei of glandular epithelial cells, called subnuclear vacuoles, which are histological features of the early stage of secretion.

2) Mid-secretory phase: Day 20 to 23 of the menstrual cycle. The inner membrane is thicker and more serrated than before. The apical cell membrane of the secretory epithelial cells in the gland ruptures, and the glycogen in the cells is discharged into the glandular cavity, which is called apocrine secretion. During this period, the interstitial tissue is highly edematous and loose, and the spiral arterioles proliferate and curl.

3) Late secretory phase: Day 24 to 28 of the menstrual cycle. This period is the pre-menstrual period. The endometrium becomes thickened and spongy. The openings of the endometrial glands face the organ cavity, with secretions such as glycogen overflowing, the stroma becoming looser and more edematous, and the stroma under the surface epithelial cells differentiate into hypertrophic decidual-like cells. During this stage, the spiral arterioles grow rapidly beyond the thickness of the intima, become more curved, and the vascular lumen expands. In the late secretory phase, the normal thickness of the endometrium is about 5 to 6 mm.

Experts told us that the normal thickness of the endometrium is about 7 to 11 mm. Only before and after your menstruation will your endometrium gradually thicken. This is the double layer thickness of the endometrium, which gives you a chance of getting pregnant. However, it cannot be too thick. If it exceeds 140mm, the chance of pregnancy is very small. Experts also suggest that if there are any other special circumstances, it is best to go to the hospital for examination.
