Menstruation is a periodic shedding of the endometrium accompanied by bleeding that occurs in every woman every month. Every girl starts menstruating in her teens and goes on to experience amenorrhea in middle age, completely ending her menstrual cycle. As we all know, a normal internal condition of the uterus can create favorable conditions for menstruation. If a woman's endometrium is too thick or too thin, she will not experience menstruation. So, what kind of endometrial thickness is required for menstruation? Can a woman's endometrium of 4mm cause menstruation? Below, the editor will answer each question one by one.
Does a female with an endometrial thickness of 4mm experience menstruation
1. The normal ovulation period of the endometrium should reach 8-10 millimeters, and the thickness of the endometrium is only 4 millimeters, which belongs to the thin endometrium. The thickness of the endometrium is insufficient, and in clinical practice, menstrual irregularities such as infrequent menstruation and prolonged periods often occur.
2. If the endometrium is thin and causes menstrual disorders, it is recommended to further check the six levels of sex hormones and monitor ovarian ovulation to identify the cause of menstrual disorders and actively regulate them. Maintain good lifestyle and dietary habits, eat more fresh fruits and vegetables, avoid smoking, alcohol, coffee, strong tea, and spicy and stimulating foods.
3. In general, it is considered normal for the endometrium to be between 7 and 12mm. If the thickness of the endometrium is 4mm, it is recommended to go to the hospital in a timely manner to check the hormone levels in the body to see if they are normal. At the same time, it is recommended to pay attention to the menstrual cycle and consider whether the endometrium is thin.
What to do if the endometrium is thin
Thin endometrium is often caused by factors such as miscarriage, inflammation, endocrine disorders, etc. If it is caused by low levels of sex hormones or endometrial hyperplasia disorders, the endometrium may be thin. Rest more regularly, eat more fresh fruits and vegetables, avoid smoking, alcohol, coffee, strong tea, and spicy and stimulating foods. The thickness of the normal endometrium varies with the menstrual cycle and is not constant.
The specific numbers are:
1. Menstrual period: The functional layer of the endometrium sheds and the basal layer is retained.
2. Hyperplastic period: On the 6th to 14th day of menstruation, the thickness of the endometrium reaches 1-3mm.
3. Secretory period: From the 15th to the 28th day of menstruation, the thickness of the endometrium reaches 5-7mm.
Based on this article, the thickness of the endometrium can vary, rather than remain constant. The thickness of the endometrium varies at different times, sometimes thickening and sometimes thinning. A thin or thick endometrium can affect the normal onset of menstruation. Therefore, it is important to develop good lifestyle habits and daily routines. Diet should not be ignored, such as eating more fruits and vegetables and drinking plenty of water, to ensure normal endometrial thickness and menstrual flow.
