What is the cause of the endometrial thickness of 12mm?

We all know that the uterus is a very important organ for our female friends. It is also the place where our future baby will be born. Therefore, once the uterus is abnormal, it will cause very serious consequences. Some friends have checked that their endometrial thickness is 12mm. Seeing this number, some friends may not understand what is abnormal. Here I want to say that the thickness of 1cm is the maximum normal thickness. So what is the situation of endometrial 12mm?

1. The normal thickness of the endometrium is 0.8-1.0cm.

2. The thickness of the endometrium needs to be determined according to the period. A thickness of 1.2cm before menstruation is considered normal.

3. Endometrial thickening generally does not affect pregnancy. Endometrial thickening is caused by high levels of estrogen stimulating the endometrium. The clinical manifestations are functional uterine bleeding, with the main symptoms being irregular menstruation, prolonged menstruation and excessive menstrual flow.

4. However, abnormal endometrial thickening can lead to infertility. The endometrium is affected by the hormone levels in the body. If it thickens excessively, it is mainly due to changes in hormone levels. This can not only affect menstruation, but may also affect normal ovulation. Therefore, it cannot be ruled out that it may affect pregnancy. If the estrogen and progesterone levels in the body are at abnormal values, it will affect pregnancy and may even lead to infertility.

5. It is recommended to do a vaginal B-ultrasound three days after the end of menstruation to observe the specific thickness of the endometrium. If the endometrium is thick, menstruation will be very painful, not to mention that it is difficult for the fertilized egg to implant! If it is really too thick, conservative curettage will not affect pregnancy.

Here we have explained in detail what the endometrium is like when it is 12mm. I believe that after reading this article, you should have a general understanding of what the situation is. After understanding this, if any friends find this situation happening in their daily lives, they must seek timely treatment to avoid more serious situations. I hope I can help everyone here.
