Is endometrial thickness of 18mm serious?

Whether the endometrial thickness of 18mm is serious depends on the specific situation. Benign lesions such as endometritis, endocrine disorders, endometrial hyperplasia, and endometrial polyps are generally not serious. However, if it is a malignant lesion, such as endometrial cancer, it is more serious and requires timely cooperation with doctors for treatment.

1. Not serious:

1. Endometritis: Consider inflammatory infection. The inflammation invades the endometrium, causing endometrial thickening and accompanied by abnormal menstrual symptoms.

2. Endocrine disorders: This is related to excessive mental stress and staying up late for a long time, which can easily lead to hormone level disorders in the body. Excessive increase in estrogen can easily cause endometrial hyperplasia and abnormal menstrual symptoms.

3. Endometrial hyperplasia: Regular use of birth control pills is related to obesity, which causes abnormal proliferation of the endometrium, leading to endometrial thickening and usually symptoms of abnormal uterine bleeding.

4. Endometrial polyps: It is a benign disease. Under the repeated stimulation of inflammation, it will lead to abnormal proliferation of endometrial tissue, manifested by symptoms such as increased menstrual volume, prolonged menstrual cycle, abdominal pain, etc.

2. Severe:

1. Endometrial cancer: This disease is a malignant tumor disease, which is related to genetic factors and bad living habits. The lack of progesterone in the body can easily cause estrogen to continue to stimulate the endometrium, leading to excessive endometrial hyperplasia, manifested by abnormal uterine bleeding, vaginal purulent fluid, abdominal pain and other symptoms.

No matter what the cause is, you need to cooperate with the doctor's treatment. During this period, you should also keep your private parts clean and maintain a happy mood to help your body recover.
