What causes Endometrial thickness? - Dr.Smitha Sha of Cloudnine Hospitals | Doctors' Circle

Endometrium is the inner layer of the uterus. Normally the thickness of the endometrium starts increasing after the menstruation starts from 4mm and reaches upto 10 mm. every month a woman gets her menstrual cycle and this inner layer is shed, called as menstruation. The importance of the thickness of this endometrium or the inner layer of the uterus is in all the age groups. In the younger age group if there is too much of thickness and she bleeds heavily, she has got abnormal uterine bleeding, but after the age of 45 if she has heavy bleeding and the inner layer is very thick, we sometimes recommend curetting and subjecting the layer to pathology testing to rule out hormonal changes or hyperplasia, which is a precancerous condition if we have to consider a post menopausal woman who has stopped menstruating, then the importance of endometrial thickness is like this. If the endometrial thickness is less than 4mm, this patient is very unlikely to have cancer of the endometrium in future. If the thickness is above 6mm, we keep her under observation if the patient has an endometrial thickness of more than 10mm, we have to subject this patient to D & C and further histopathological examination to rule out whether she has hyperplasia, that is a precancerous condition or whether she is already going towards malignancy and developing cancer.

Guys I am telling you one thing every time these doctors will come up with the name Cancer... endometrial thickness is due to hormonal changes.... lifestyle change, diet, exercise is scans and ignoring stress can definitely be helped.... Even if it is a urine infection they will come up n say it mite b cancer....they are literally scaring us...

I'm surprised that more people didn't post on how unnecessary it was to have music playing during this video. I could barely make out what this doctor is saying.

[zunizuni]

All the endometrial thickness is not a Cancer. It may be infection and tyorid also .

[saimanishakodali]

In 100 women minimum 80 people are having this endometrial thickness...does it state that it is cancer to everyone...sometimes thyroid hormone TSH levels are also a part of it....be patient...i would recommend you panchakarma treatment in Ayurveda ....having long term pcos or pcod with irregular periods can turn into endometrium thickness....

[brendaandrandyking]

My question is this....could a overly thick endometrium with high estrogen low progesterone after menopause can this cause blood pressure problems

I am 23 years old with 20.4mm or 2.04cm Endometrium Thickness. I have PCOS also. I experienced 2-3x prolonged menses but not so heavy. All started 7 months ago. But 6 months ago, my lining was just 0.6cm.. Now, my PCOS is undetectable in my new TransVaginal Result. But the doctor said that I have it still since I was once got diagnosed. I have no problem with thyroid. TSH levels are normal. I have not experienced dysmenorrhea this year and the past years.

Doctor said that I have to undergo D&C and biopsy to check what causing the thickness.

My problem is, does 20.4mm can be categorized with hyperplasia or worse?

Hoping for your answer.

Thank you for the great video. How you explain is very easy to understand ~

[allinwithariane]

My endometriosis measuring 24mm doctors didn't recommend any follow up should I be concern?

[NurseTrainingHub]

I hope there is now music background..

[racheljng]

My ultrasound a few dpo showed my lining at 11mm....my doctor said that it's thick and suggests a hysteroscopy but since doing my research, I found 11mm is normal for that point in a cycle..I was also recently diagnosis with PCOS....small follicles showed up on my US and my AMH is 6.5....I have regular 28-30 cycles lasting about 5 days (I get moderate/heavy bleeding 2 out of 5 days). Sugar and thyroid levels are normal. It's frustrating not having common symptoms.
