The uterus is the most important organ in the female body and plays a crucial role in women's physical health. When a woman's uterus has problems, both her monthly menstrual cycle and pregnancy can be affected. So, what is the thickness of the endometrium for normal ovulation?
When women are in ovulation, the thickness of the endometrium is around 8mm-10mm. The thickness of the endometrium changes with the development of the menstrual cycle, mainly influenced by progesterone and estrogen. According to the thickness of the endometrium at different stages, a cycle can be divided into four parts. It mainly includes the proliferative period, secretory period, premenstrual period, and menstrual period.
The proliferative period is around 5-9 days of the menstrual cycle, during which the endometrium becomes very thin as the menstrual cycle has just ended. The secretory period is around the 15th to 19th day of menstruation, during which the endometrium is constantly thickening. By the late stage of secretion, the thickness of the endometrium can reach 5-6mm. By the premenstrual period, the thickness of the endometrium will decrease by one-fifth to one-third as it begins to shed. During menstruation, the endometrium will collapse and shed on a large scale.
In daily life, women should pay attention to the cleanliness and hygiene of the external genitalia, wash 1-2 times a day with warm water, and choose loose and cotton underwear to avoid bacterial growth and more serious gynecological diseases.
