What is the normal thickness of uterine scar?

The uterus is a female reproductive organ and it is very important to women. However, in daily life, there are more or less some diseases related to the uterus, such as uterine scars. The depth of uterine scars has different effects on the condition, but many women do not know much about these medical knowledge, so some people are more suspicious of their condition. Then there are many women who want to know these very much. Next, let’s take a look at whether the thickness of uterine scars is normal?

1. Under normal female health conditions, the thickness of the endometrium is basically normal. Generally, the thickness of the endometrium is 1-4mm in the first 1-7 days after menstruation, and 5-9mm in the 8-21 days after menstruation. A difference of 1-2mm is normal. Although there will be some changes before and after menstruation, it is basically within this range.

2 Common causes of uterine scar formation include cesarean section, myomectomy, uterine malformation correction, etc., among which cesarean section is the most common. The thickness of the endometrium varies during different menstrual periods, which can be determined through ultrasound examination. Scarred uterus is generally seen in women with scarred constitution.

3General situation: Grade 1 scar (well-healed): the thickness of the lower segment of the anterior wall of the uterus is >= 3mm, and the echoes of each layer are continuous and uniform. Grade 11 scar (poor healing): the thickness of the lower segment of the anterior wall of the uterus is <3mm, and the echoes of each layer lose continuity, and there is no bulging of the amniotic membrane when pressure is applied. It is normal for the thickness of the lower segment of the uterus of a second fetal scar at 36 months of pregnancy to be >= 3mm.

4. Fresh scars generally fade by 80%, which is not a big problem. But for old scars, such as those that are several years old, there is basically no way to treat them. Fresh scars, such as those from January to May. The earlier scars are treated, the less noticeable they will be. There are three comprehensive methods for treating fresh scars: surgery, medication, and laser. There is currently no particularly good method for treating old scars in China.

5 Scar removal is divided into surgical and non-surgical methods. Before scar treatment, a reasonable treatment method will be formulated. Depending on the situation, it will be determined whether to choose surgical or non-surgical methods. If both methods need to be performed at the same time, a comprehensive treatment method needs to be adopted.

The above describes the issue of how much thickness of uterine scar is normal. I believe that many women will have a full understanding of it after reading it. Therefore, women who have this problem can compare it with their own bodies based on what is said above. If there are any unexpected situations, please seek medical treatment in time and do not delay the deterioration of the disease. The consequences are very terrible.
