Postpartum endometrial thickness

A woman's body is relatively weak after giving birth, and both her body and uterus need a recovery period at this time. The normal size of the uterus is 5.2*4.1*5.2 and the thickness of the endometrium is about 6 mm. If it is too thin, it is usually caused by failure to recover completely after delivery. Now let's analyze in detail the condition of the endometrium of normal women after delivery.

What is the normal thickness of the endometrium after childbirth? Although this is a common sense question, many women are still not clear about it and are curious about it. So let’s take a look at what is considered normal thickness of the endometrium after childbirth today!

Generally speaking, the thickness of the endometrium varies at different times. It is divided into the following four periods.

1. Proliferative phase: Around the 5th to 9th day of the menstrual cycle, the endometrium is very thin.

2. Secretory phase: From the 15th to the 19th day of menstruation, which is 1 to 5 days after ovulation, the endometrium continues to thicken and the gland further increases in size and curvature. Around the 20th to 24th day of the menstrual cycle, which is 6 to 10 days after ovulation, the endometrium shows a high degree of secretory activity, and the curvature and expansion of the gland reach a peak. In the late secretory phase, the thickness of the endometrium is about 5 to 6 mm.

3. Premenstrual period: About 25th to 28th day of the menstrual cycle, which is 11 to 14 days after ovulation, the thickness of the endometrium decreases by 1/5 to 1/3.

4. Menstrual period: approximately from the 1st to the 4th day of the menstrual cycle, the main changes are endometrial bleeding and shedding. The endometrium changes at different stages of the menstrual cycle.

It can be seen that because the endometrium has the characteristics of periodic changes, it is not fixed, but the endometrium during ovulation is usually larger than 1 cm, which is beneficial for the implantation of the fertilized egg, and the normal endometrium is usually between 0.5-1.0 cm.

The condition of a woman's endometrium is very important, so women must pay attention to it. It is hoped that women will have regular check-ups 42 days and 3 months after delivery to avoid any abnormal conditions that they have not discovered.
