What does 6mm endometrium mean?

The uterine wall is 6mm. If the test is done after the menstrual period is over or during the ovulation period, the thickness of the uterine wall is normal. This is because after the menstrual period is over, the uterine wall is in a metabolic period. If the test is done after ovulation, the uterine wall will be thinner, the patient will have less menstrual flow and may even suffer from infertility. Modern science believes that the thickness of the uterine wall determines the success or failure of pregnancy. The uterine wall of pregnancy is generally between 8-12mm. If the endometrium is thin, hormone therapy can be used.

If a woman is of childbearing age and her uterine wall is only 3mm thick at any stage of the menstrual period, it is likely due to insufficient estrogen in the body or the early decline of the ovaries. It means that there may be clinical manifestations of amenorrhea or menopause. It is recommended to have a blood test for six sex hormones, mainly to understand whether the ovaries and estradiol are normal. It is also recommended to do a B-ultrasound examination to understand whether the size of the uterus is normal. If it is ovarian failure, the uterus may shrink, so if the uterine wall is only 3mm, it is recommended to give necessary examinations. If the uterine wall is 3mm after menopause, it is considered normal.

What does 9.9mm in the uterine wall mean? It depends on the time range for examination, and the meaning will be different. If the examination is carried out one week before menstruation, a uterine wall of 9.9mm indicates that menstruation is coming soon, because estrogen begins to increase at this time, promoting the thickening of the endometrium. When estrogen withdraws, the cycle will resume, which is the period. This is a natural law that exists in every cycle for every woman and is a physiological phenomenon.

If the examination is carried out within 3-5 days after the end of the menstrual period, and the uterine wall is found to be 9.9mm, it is considered that there is endometrial hyperplasia. Excessive secretion of estrogen will cause the uterine wall to be slightly thicker, which is an abnormal manifestation. If the uterine wall is 9.9mm during ovulation, the endometrium during normal ovulation is about 8-9mm. 9.9mm is slightly thick, which may be caused by endocrine diseases. Therefore, thickening of the endometrium after the end of menstruation and during ovulation is considered an abnormal phenomenon and should be checked in the hospital.
