Endometrial thickness 16

Although people without professional knowledge do not have a particularly good understanding of the endometrium, a phenomenon unique to the female body, female friends should understand that the thickness of the endometrium should be controlled between 8 and 13 mm. If the thickness exceeds this, it is likely caused by endometrial hyperplasia. Endometrial hyperplasia can affect a woman's ability to conceive, so is it normal for a woman's endometrial thickness to be 16 mm?

Is it normal for the uterus to be 16cm thick before menstruation?

The thickness of the uterus before menstruation is 16, which is thicker than normal, and there is a possibility of endometrial hyperplasia. What is endometrial hyperplasia? Endometrial hyperplasia has a certain tendency to become cancerous, so it is classified as a precancerous lesion. However, based on long-term observations, the vast majority of endometrial hyperplasia is a reversible lesion or maintains a persistent benign state. Only in a few cases may cancer develop after a longer time interval.

It is divided into three types according to the changes in glandular structure and morphology and the presence or absence of glandular epithelial cell atypia: ① Simple hyperplasia: a physiological response of the endometrium caused by long-term stimulation of estrogen without progesterone antagonism. The stroma and glands proliferate simultaneously without glandular crowding, and the morphology of the glandular epithelium is not atypical. ② Complex hyperplasia: The glands in the lesion area are crowded, the stroma is significantly reduced, and there is no atypia of the glandular epithelial cells. ③ Atypical hyperplasia: The glandular epithelium is atypical and belongs to the intraepithelial neoplasm of the endometrium. According to the severity of the lesion, it is divided into three degrees: mild, moderate and severe.

How to treat endometrial hyperplasia

For the treatment of atypical endometrial hyperplasia, we must first make a clear diagnosis and find out the cause. If it is accompanied by polycystic ovary, functional ovarian tumors, or other endocrine dysfunction, targeted treatment should be performed. At the same time, symptomatic treatment should be started immediately for those diagnosed with atypical endometrial hyperplasia, using medication or surgical treatment. The choice of plan should be determined based on the patient's age, fertility requirements, and physical health condition. For those under 40 years old, their tendency to cancer is low and drug treatment can be considered first. Young people who hope to have children should try drug treatment first, because after drug treatment, about 30% of patients may still become pregnant and give birth to a full-term baby. For women before and after menopause, the potential for cancer is higher than that of younger people, so hysterectomy is often performed directly.
