What does uneven endometrium mean?

Uneven endometrium refers to an examination result in which the echo of the female endometrium is uneven. It mainly refers to the changes in the female endometrium and the changes in thickness. Uneven endometrium can easily lead to endometrial adhesions or endometrial hyperplasia, and may also be prone to tumor polyps, etc., which require timely treatment.

What does uneven endometrium mean?

What we usually refer to as uneven endometrial echo is the diagnosis made by ultrasound imaging. This description is usually only found in B-ultrasound reports and refers to the morphological changes of the endometrium. Not only does the thickness of the endometrium change periodically, but its morphology also changes periodically. When the endometrium experiences irregular exfoliation, inflammation, or even adhesion, or when there is excessive proliferation or polyp formation, the endometrium will be transformed and appear to have a strong echo state.

The state of strong echo will appear uneven echo during B-ultrasound examination. The presence of uneven echoes does not necessarily mean there is a problem and should be judged in conjunction with the medical history. If accompanied by irregular vaginal bleeding or discharge, the uneven echoes may indicate a problem. Such problems include endometrial adhesions, uterine polyps, or excessive proliferation.

Polyps are benign lesions, but excessive endometrial hyperplasia, such as complex hyperplasia and atypical hyperplasia, carries the risk of endometrial cancer. Intimal thickening and uneven echo are highly correlated with intimal hyperplasia. Although they do not equal cancer, we still need to be vigilant about the risk of cancer.

The endometrium is uneven. This is mainly because under the examination of color Doppler ultrasound of the uterine adnexa, it is found that the endometrium is uneven, some parts are hyperplastic, and some parts are relatively thin. This generally means that there is a disease in the endometrium, the most common of which are endometritis, endometrial cancer, endometrial polyps, endometriosis, etc. It is necessary to actively observe the progress of the disease and check whether there is increased menstrual flow, prolonged menstrual period, or prolonged menstrual bleeding. Discomforts such as lower abdominal pain and a feeling of heaviness in the lower abdomen often occur. At the same time, hysteroscopy should be performed actively, and if necessary, surgery should be performed to remove polyps and diseased tissues, and cooperate with radiotherapy and chemotherapy to stop the progression of the disease and prevent adverse consequences such as life-threatening consequences.
