Is 17mm of endometrium too thick before menstruation?

The endometrium is generally not too thick at 17mm before menstruation.

The endometrium is a layer of tissue lining the uterus that plays an important role in the female reproductive cycle. Generally speaking, the normal range of the endometrium changes at different stages of the menstrual cycle. Usually in the first stage of the menstrual cycle, the endometrium will gradually thicken, providing a suitable environment for the fertilized egg to implant.

After ovulation, if no fertilized egg implants, the endometrium will be shed when menstruation comes. Under normal circumstances, the thickness of the endometrium before menstruation is generally between 8-16mm. However, due to the different physical conditions of the affected individuals, the normal thickness of the endometrium before menstruation will also vary from person to person. If the endometrium is 17mm thick, it may be slightly higher than the normal range, but not too thick.

If you feel unwell, it is recommended to seek medical attention in time and consult a gynecologist for further evaluation and diagnosis, and provide corresponding advice and treatment plans. At the same time, regular gynecological examinations and ultrasound examinations should be carried out to detect any abnormalities in time. In daily life, you should pay attention to developing regular work and rest habits, pay more attention to hygiene during menstruation, maintain a light diet, and eat less spicy, raw, cold and irritating foods.
