Is endometrial thickness 17 serious?

The normal endometrial thickness is generally no more than 14mm. If the thickness of the uterine wall is 17mm, then if the menstrual period is regular every time, the problem is not very serious. If many people mainly experience amenorrhea and frequent bleeding, they should undergo a diagnostic curettage of the uterine wall to see if the pathological results show simple endometrial hyperplasia, multiple endometrial hyperplasia, or an organic disease of the uterine wall, that is, endometrial cancer. If it is the first two conditions, there is no need to worry too much. If there is endometrial cancer, surgery can be performed as soon as possible. The sooner the surgery is performed, the better the recovery.

If the endometrium is 17mm thick, whether it is after the menstrual period is over, during ovulation, or before menstruation, it shows that the endometrium is thickened. It is more common in endometrial inflammation and uterine wall diseases, such as uterine wall intestinal metaplasia, endometrial cancer, or uterine wall precancerous lesions, all of which are manifested as endometrial thickening and are relatively serious. It is recommended to perform a diagnostic curettage between the 6th and 12th hours of menstruation, send the scraped tissue to pathology for examination, and finally use the pathological diagnosis as the standard. According to the results of pathological diagnosis, corresponding treatment will be given. It is often accompanied by irregular vaginal bleeding or lower abdominal pain and other clinical symptoms, which should be taken seriously. And it is recommended that women, even if they do not feel uncomfortable, should have a B-ultrasound examination every year.

If the uterine wall is 17mm, a curettage is required, and the endometrial thickness is beyond the normal range. The normal uterine wall thickness should be less than 15mm. If the endometrial thickness is normal during ovulation, it is above 8mm, but not more than 15mm.
