Is 13mm endometrial thickness normal?

A friend asked me if the endometrial thickness of 13mm is normal? She went to the hospital for an ultrasound, and the results showed that the thickness of her endometrium was 13MM. She had the test 5-6 days after her period ended. Her husband said that her uterine wall was too thick and she couldn't get pregnant. Is this true? So is an endometrial thickness of 13mm normal? Let’s discuss it now.

Is 13mm normal?

1 First of all, the normal endometrial thickness is 5-10MM. The thickness of the uterine wall changes continuously with the menstrual cycle. Whether the thickness of the endometrium is normal is related to whether the woman's body is in a normal state. Therefore, women should choose the post-menstrual stage to understand the standard of endometrial thickness as a standard for considering the thickness of the endometrium after menstruation.

Secondly, it is normal for the uterine wall to be around 1.0cm during ovulation, and it usually reaches around 1.2-1.5cm before menstruation. The most common cause of endometrial thickness during puberty is the absence of ovulation in the uterus and ovaries. The uterine wall will thicken if menstruation is not reached for a long time, or even if menstruation can come, the uterine wall cannot completely fall off, which will also increase the thickness of the endometrium during menstruation and prolong the bleeding time.

3Finally, the normal endometrial thickness changes regularly. It is very thin shortly after the menstrual period ends, then gradually thickens, and becomes thicker before the next menstrual period. The range of endometrial thickness changes is usually between 1-10mm. Too thin or too thick will affect pregnancy, and 13mm seems a little thick. However, since there are no other abnormalities, taking Chinese medicine should not be a problem.
