2. For women of normal childbearing age, the thickness of the endometrium will be affected by the menstrual cycle and hormonal changes, and will undergo periodic changes. Usually, the endometrium is the thinnest just after menstruation ends. With the onset of ovulation, hormones in the body will rise, and the endometrium will continue to thicken, generally reaching 5-7mm. After ovulation, it will enter the secretory phase, and estrogen and progesterone will cause the endometrium to continue to thicken, reaching the thickest point before menstruation, which may reach 10-15mm. An endometrial thickness of 18mm indicates that the endometrium is too thick, which may be caused by endometrial hyperplasia and endometrial polyps, so it may cause patients to experience delayed menstruation, heavy bleeding, and increased menstrual flow.
