How thick is the endometrium the day after ovulation?

The thickness of the uterine wall can be used to determine whether a woman's uterine wall is normal, which directly affects a woman's physical and mental health, and also affects a woman's reproductive function. If there is an abnormality in the uterine wall, it is easy to cause infertility. So how much is the endometrial thickness after ovulation?

How much is the thickness of the endometrium after ovulation?

Generally, the normal endometrial thickness varies from 5 to 10 mm, and the thickness of the uterine wall varies at different stages.

1. Proliferative stage

The uterine wall is about 9-10mm.

2. Metabolic stage

The thickness of the uterine wall is about 5 to 6 mm.

3. Menstrual period

The thickness of the inner membrane can reach 8-10mm. The thickness of the uterine wall changes with the regular changes of the uterus and ovaries. From the 5th day of the menstrual cycle, the uterine wall is in the proliferative phase.

The endometrium continues to thicken until the 14th day of the menstrual period, and can thicken to 3-4mm; in the second half of the menstrual cycle, the endometrium is in a metabolic phase, but it still thickens again, reaching a thickness of 10mm before menarche.

Under normal circumstances, the thickness of a woman's endometrium is 8-12mm, and should not be less than 6mm at least.

Generally speaking, the thickness of the endometrium is around 10mm in the early stages of pregnancy. Experts emphasize that the thickness of the endometrium that is conducive to pregnancy is around 8mm. The best stage for the uterine wall to be fertile is during the follicular phase.

4 major harms of endometrial thickening

1. Affecting women’s pregnancy

This is the greatest harm of endometrial thickening to women. If the uterine wall is too thick, it means that there is a disorder of uterine and ovarian hormones, which may lead to abnormal ovulation and infertility.

At the same time, patients with long-term thickening of the uterine wall are more susceptible to gynecological inflammation than normal people, which is not conducive to the implantation of the embryo combined with sperm and egg, resulting in spontaneous miscarriage.

2. Cause lesions

Endometrial hyperplasia has a certain pathological tendency. According to statistics, the lesion rate of intestinal metaplasia is 23%, among which the lesion rate of moderate to severe intestinal metaplasia reaches 30%-50%, so it is listed as a precancerous lesion.

3. Endocrine imbalance and aging appearance

The growth of the uterine wall is related to the female hormones in the female body, and endometrial hyperplasia is mainly caused by endocrine imbalance. Endocrine imbalance causes spots and dark yellow skin on women's faces.

4. Causes irregular menstruation

Some patients experience menstruation that lasts for dozens of days or more, which can also cause anemia. If the condition worsens and bleeding lasts too long, it can cause female shock. In addition, endometrial thickening can also cause menstrual pain, irregular menstruation and other symptoms in women.
