Endometrial changes after ovulation

Some organs in the body will show different conditions at different times. For example, the thickness of the endometrium is different during a woman's menstrual period and ovulation period. Many women do not know much about the changes in the endometrium after ovulation. The following will give you a detailed explanation of the thickness of the endometrium in each period. After understanding it, you can judge whether your uterus is healthy.

1. What is the thickness of the endometrium after ovulation?

Generally, the normal thickness of the endometrium ranges from 5 to 10 mm, and the thickness of the endometrium varies at different stages.

1. Proliferative stage

The endometrium is approximately 9-10mm.

2. Secretory phase

The thickness of the endometrium is about 5 to 6 mm.

3. Menstrual period

The thickness of the endometrium can reach 8-10mm. The thickness of the endometrium changes with the cyclical changes of the ovaries. From the 5th day of the menstrual cycle, the endometrium is in the proliferative phase.

The endometrium continues to thicken until the 14th day of menstruation, and can thicken to 3-4mm; in the second half of the menstrual cycle, the endometrium is in the secretory phase, but it continues to thicken, and the endometrium thickness can reach 10mm before menstruation.

Under normal circumstances, the thickness of a woman's endometrium is 8-12 mm, and the minimum cannot be less than 6 mm.

Generally speaking, the thickness of the endometrium is about 10mm just after pregnancy. Experts point out that the thickness of the endometrium that is conducive to conception is about 8 mm. The best time for the endometrium to be fertile is during the luteal phase.

2. 4 major hazards of endometrial thickening

1. Affecting women’s pregnancy

This is the biggest harm of endometrial thickening to women. If the endometrium is too thick, it means that there is an ovarian hormone disorder, which may be accompanied by abnormal ovulation and infertility.

At the same time, patients with long-term endometrial thickening are more likely to suffer from gynecological inflammation than normal people, which is not conducive to the implantation of the fertilized egg and leads to habitual miscarriage.

2. Cause cancer

Endometrial hyperplasia has a certain tendency to become cancerous. According to surveys, the canceration rate of atypical hyperplasia is 23%, among which the canceration rate of severe atypical hyperplasia can reach 30%-50%, so it is listed as a precancerous lesion.

3. Endocrine disorders and premature aging of the face

The growth of the endometrium is related to the hormone levels in women's bodies, and endometrial hyperplasia is mainly caused by endocrine disorders. Endocrine disorders can cause spots on women's faces and dark yellow skin.

4. Causes menstrual abnormalities

Some patients experience menstruation that lasts for dozens of days or more, which can also lead to anemia. If the condition worsens and bleeding lasts too long, it can cause shock in women. In addition, endometrial thickening can also cause dysmenorrhea and irregular menstruation in women.
