Endometrial thickness diagnosis and curettage require bed rest for several days

The thickness of the endometrium is not fixed. It changes according to the onset of menstruation, and the thickness of the endometrium affects women's menstrual cycle. The normal thickness of the endometrium is 8-10mm. Once it exceeds this thickness, it will have a great impact on the female body. Therefore, some women resort to surgery to solve the problem. So, how many days do you need to stay in bed during the endometrial thickness diagnosis and curettage?

It is best to rest in bed for the first 3 days. Because after curettage, a wound is left on the endometrium, if you move too early, it may prolong the vaginal bleeding time. Generally, you should avoid physical labor and physical exercise within half a month.

The dangers of thick endometrium:

The most common harm of endometrial thickening to women is endocrine disorders, which will affect their skin appearance. The thickening of the endometrium is related to the hormone levels in women's bodies. The thickening of the endometrium indicates endocrine disorders in women, which can cause spots on their faces and dull skin tone.

In addition, endometrial thickening can also affect women's pregnancy. Because the production of eggs during the ovarian cycle secretes estrogen and progesterone, the blood supply to the endometrium is enhanced, causing the endometrium to thicken and form a proliferative endometrium, which may affect the combination of sperm and egg.

In severe cases, endometrial thickening can cause heavy bleeding in women and lead to shock. Because the most common symptom of endometrial thickening is vaginal bleeding, but everyone's bleeding situation is different. If the bleeding is excessive, women will go into shock or suffer from hemorrhagic anemia.

How to treat endometrial thickening

Because endometrial hyperplasia has a certain rate of canceration, treatment must be timely. The cancer rate of endometrial hyperplasia is higher in women over 40 years old, so these patients cannot rely on drug treatment alone and must undergo surgical removal of the uterus. The prerequisite for treatment is to identify the cause. If endometrial hyperplasia is accompanied by symptoms such as polycystic ovary, functional ovarian tumors, and other endocrine dysfunctions, targeted treatment should be carried out. Young patients can consider drug treatment first. There are generally two types of drugs, the ovulation-inducing drug clomiphene and progesterone drugs. The use of drugs and treatment courses must be carried out under the guidance of a doctor, and attention must be paid to whether there are adverse reactions to the drugs.

The main surgical treatment is curettage and aspiration. Surgical treatment is generally used for older women who do not plan to have children. However, it should be noted that people with high blood pressure, diabetes, obesity or poor tolerance to surgery should carefully choose whether to undergo surgical treatment. Of course, young patients should also consider surgical treatment when drug treatment is ineffective to prevent the condition from worsening or developing into cancer or recurring.

Precautions after curettage for endometrial hyperplasia:

1. After curettage, the ovarian and uterine functions gradually recover, and the ovaries ovulate on schedule. In order to ensure your health, do not try to get pregnant immediately after surgery, because the uterus is damaged during the operation and pregnancy at this time is very dangerous. Therefore, safe contraceptive measures must be taken.

2. The recovery of women's bodies after curettage is different, so the time to prepare for pregnancy will also be different. However, in order not to affect the acceleration of women's bodies and the healthy development of the fetus, preparation for pregnancy can only be carried out at least half a year after curettage. In other words, the best time to prepare for pregnancy after curettage is half a year later.
