Is endometrium 1.2 normal?

The thickness of the endometrium is usually different in women at different stages. There is a big difference in the thickness of the endometrium before and after menstruation. The thickness of the endometrium is closely related to the health of the female uterus. If the endometrium is too thick or too thin, it will affect the health of the body. Some women are often very uneasy when the thickness of the endometrium reaches 1.2 when they go to the hospital for a physical examination, worrying that this is abnormal.

Is endometrium 1.2 normal?

Before menstruation, the thickness of the endometrium is generally 1cm-1.5cm. If the menstruation has just ended, the thickness of the endometrium is only 4-5mm. Therefore, if the endometrium is 1.2cm, it depends on the period of menstruation. If it is between ovulation and before menstruation, it is normal. If the menstruation is continuous and the ultrasound shows that the endometrium is 1.2cm, it is an abnormal phenomenon and a curettage is recommended to rule out the possibility of endometrial malignancy. In addition, if the thickness of the endometrium is 1.2cm after menopause, it is also considered endometrial thickening and diagnostic curettage is also required.

The increase of endometrium is not good for women's health and induces more discomfort. Under normal circumstances, the thickness of women's endometrium should be between 0.5-1.0cm, but the thickness of the endometrium will change in different periods. During the proliferative period, the thickness of the endometrium will be 0.9-1.0cm, and in the secretory period, the thickness of the endometrium will be 0.5-0.6cm. During the menstrual period, the thickness of women's endometrium will reach 0.8-1.0cm.

Therefore, the thickness of a woman's endometrium will change with the cyclical changes of the ovaries. Female friends need to make a good distinction and pay attention to changes in the body. When the thickness of the endometrium reaches 1.2cm, the specific period should be observed and a physical examination should be conducted. Once thickening is confirmed, treatment should be actively initiated.

Generally speaking, from the fifth day of a woman's menstrual cycle, the endometrium will be in a proliferative phase and will thicken until the 14th day of menstruation, when it will thicken to 0.3-0.4cm. In the second half of the menstrual cycle, the endometrium will be in a secretory period and will continue to thicken until before menstruation, when the thickness of the endometrium will reach 1.0cm. Under normal circumstances, the thickness of the endometrium will be between 0.8-1.2cm, and will generally not be less than 0.6cm.
