Is 10mm endometrial thickness normal?

Regarding the thickness of the endometrium, whether a woman can have a healthy pregnancy during the conception process, the following article is to introduce to you. Many times when doing pregnancy preparation checkups, one of the problems everyone encounters is the thickness of the endometrium, which is the key to conception.

What is the normal thickness of the endometrium?

Generally, the thickness of normal endometrium ranges from 5 to 10 mm. The thickness of endometrium varies in different periods: 1. The thickness of endometrium in proliferative stage is about 9 to 10 mm. 2 During the secretory phase, the thickness of the endometrium is about 5 to 6 mm. 3 Menstrual period: The thickness of the endometrium can reach 8-10mm. The thickness of the endometrium changes with the cyclical changes of the ovaries. From the 5th day of the menstrual cycle, the endometrium is in the proliferative phase, and the endometrium continues to thicken until the 14th day of menstruation, and can thicken to 3-4mm; in the second half of the menstrual cycle, the endometrium is in the secretory phase, but it continues to thicken, and the endometrial thickness can reach 10mm before menstruation. Under normal circumstances, the thickness of a woman's endometrium is 8-12 mm, and the minimum cannot be less than 6 mm. Generally speaking, the thickness of the endometrium is about 10mm just after pregnancy. Experts point out that the thickness of the endometrium that is conducive to conception is about 8 mm. The best time for the endometrium to be fertile is during the luteal phase.

Reason 1. Endogenous estrogen

(1) Anovulation: Anovulation may occur in adolescent girls, perimenopausal women, disorders in certain links of the hypothalamus-pituitary-ovarian axis, polycystic ovary syndrome, etc., causing the endometrium to be continuously affected by estrogen for a long time without progesterone to counteract it, lacking the transformation of the cyclical secretory phase, and being in a state of hyperplasia for a long time. In patients with atypical endometrial hyperplasia under the age of 40, except for focal atypical hyperplasia, more than 80% of the other endometrium has no secretory phase; 70% of the basal body temperature measurement results are monophasic. Therefore, most patients do not ovulate.

(2) Obesity: In obese women, androstenedione secreted by the adrenal glands is converted into estrone by aromatase in adipose tissue. The more adipose tissue there is, the stronger the conversion capacity and the higher the estrone level in the plasma, thus causing a persistent estrogenic effect.

(3) Endocrine functional tumors: Endocrine functional tumors are rare tumors, but in research statistics, endocrine functional tumors account for 7.5%. The gonadotropin function of the pituitary gland is abnormal, and ovarian granulosa cell tumor is also a tumor that continuously secretes estrogen.

In this article, we introduced the thickness of the endometrium. Generally speaking, this phenomenon in daily life will bring great difficulties to friends in life and pregnancy. Once discovered, it is necessary to check it in time to improve your health.
