Is 13mm endometrial thickness normal?

Many times when people are giving birth, they inevitably need to undergo a full-body examination, especially an examination of the uterine cavity. However, it varies from person to person. Many people have difficulty in fertility and conception due to the thick endometrium. In the following article, we will introduce the endometrial thickness of 13mm.

The normal thickness of the endometrium is 0.8-1.0cm. If the endometrium is too thick or too thin, it will directly affect pregnancy. Endometrial hyperplasia, especially atypical hyperplasia, is an important precancerous lesion of endometrial cancer. To reduce the possibility of eventual cancer, doctors may recommend hysterectomy to postmenopausal women with atypical endometrial hyperplasia and women who do not desire to have children. However, in recent years, the age of onset of this disease has become younger and younger, even including some young women who have not yet given birth.

During treatment, whether to preserve fertility often puts many people in a dilemma. In order to help young patients realize their dream of becoming a mother, doctors will adopt conservative treatment, namely, using progesterone to treat endometrial hyperplasia. By using a large dose of progestin for 3 consecutive months, more than 80% of patients with endometrial hyperplasia without atypical hyperplasia can achieve complete remission of lesions. After 3 months, endometrial lesions must be rechecked routinely. If the therapeutic effect is not ideal, treatment can be continued for another 3 months.

If atypical endometrial lesions persist after six months of treatment, it often indicates progesterone resistance, the patient's prognosis is poor, and the chance of developing endometrial cancer is increased. If the lesions disappear after treatment, you should have children as soon as possible. Because even for patients with atypical endometrial hyperplasia who can be completely relieved through treatment, the recurrence rate is still high, some assisted reproductive technologies can be considered to enable patients to have children as soon as possible. If the patient has no plans to have children in the near future, some contraceptives can be considered to maintain the therapeutic effect, but close follow-up is still required. It is important to note that even after giving birth, the patient should continue to monitor the condition of the endometrium. Once lesions occur, the uterus should be removed as soon as possible.

In daily life, the thickness of the endometrium is 13mm. If this is the reason, you should go to the hospital for examination in time. Generally speaking, after treatment, the process of conception will be faster, especially for conditioning various parts of the body.
