Endometrial thickness 14mm

For women, gynecological diseases are the most torturous, especially endometrial thickening. This disease has a great impact on women and may even lead to infertility. Faced with many problems related to endometrial diseases, everyone must do the corresponding diagnosis and care according to their personal physical condition to avoid worsening of the disease. So what should be done if the endometrium thickens by 14 mm?

How to diagnose endometrial thickness yourself

1. Laboratory diagnosis

(1) CA125 (ovarian cancer-associated antigen) value measurement is a tumor-associated antigen with certain diagnostic value for ovarian epithelial cancer. However, in patients with endometrial thickening, the CA125 value may increase, and the positive rate increases with the increase of the endometrial thickening stage. Its sensitivity and specificity are very high. Therefore, it is helpful for the diagnosis of endometrial thickening and can also monitor the efficacy of endometrial thickening treatment.

(2) Anti-endometrial antibodies (EMAb) Anti-endometrial antibodies are autoantibodies that use the endometrium as a target antigen and induce a series of immunopathological reactions. They are marker antibodies for endometrial thickness. The detection of serum EMAb is an effective method for the diagnosis and efficacy observation of patients with endometrial thickening.

2. Imaging diagnosis

(1) B-mode ultrasound diagnosis B-mode ultrasound diagnosis is one of the commonly used diagnostic methods in obstetrics and gynecology, and plays an important role in the diagnosis of obstetrics and gynecology diseases. Determine the location, size, shape of the cyst and discover masses that were not palpable during gynecological diagnosis.

(2) Laparoscopic diagnosis uses a laparoscope to directly observe the pelvic cavity and see thick lesions or perform a biopsy on visible lesions to confirm the diagnosis. The clinical stage of pelvic endometrial thickness and the treatment plan can be determined based on the results of the microscopic examination. Under laparoscopy, attention should be paid to observing whether there are endometrial thick lesions in the uterus, fallopian tubes, ovaries, uterosacral ligaments, pelvic peritoneum, etc. The endometrial thickness is staged and scored based on laparoscopic diagnosis or surgical findings.

(3) X-ray diagnosis can be performed using pelvic pneumatic angiography and hysterosalpingography to assist in the diagnosis of pelvic endometrial thickness.

(4) Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) MRI can directly image in multiple planes, providing an intuitive understanding of the extent, origin, and invaded structures of the lesion. It can correctly locate the lesion and enhance the display of soft tissue. Therefore, MRI is of great value in diagnosing endometrial thickness and understanding pelvic lesions and adhesions.

This is a summary of how to diagnose endometrial thickness. There are many reasons for endometrial thickness. Patients must receive treatment based on the cause of their own endometrial thickness. In addition, endometrial thickness may be a very serious disease for women, so the treatment is relatively long and patients must be patient.
