What does the endometrial thickness of 0.2 mean?

An endometrial thickness of 0.2cm usually means that the patient's endometrium is too thin. Thin endometrium is mostly normal, but it may also be caused by decreased estrogen levels, endocrine disorders, endometritis, endometrial polyps, etc. It is recommended to go to the hospital for relevant examinations and make corresponding improvements or treatments under the guidance of a doctor according to different reasons.

1. Normal phenomenon: The thickness of the endometrium is not fixed. It varies in different periods of menstruation. At the beginning of menstruation, the thickness of the endometrium is relatively thin, usually between 0.2cm, and in the middle of menstruation, the thickness of the endometrium may reach 0.8cm to 1.2cm. If there are no other abnormal conditions, it is a normal phenomenon and does not require special treatment. You can do a good job of local hygiene in normal times.

2. Decreased estrogen levels: During menstruation, estrogen levels gradually decrease, and the endometrium will be thinner, usually reaching 0.2 cm, which may manifest as a decrease in menstrual volume. You can eat some soy products, such as soy milk and tofu, which can help promote the secretion of estrogen. If the symptoms are more serious, you can use drugs such as estradiol valerate tablets, diethylstilbestrol tablets, and progesterone capsules under the guidance of a doctor to relieve the symptoms.

3. Endocrine disorders: If you are under great mental stress for a long time or often stay up late, it may cause endocrine disorders, which usually affect the thickness of the endometrium. You need to maintain a good attitude, avoid staying up late, and go to bed early and get up early, which will help relieve symptoms. If the symptoms are more serious, you can use Xiaoyao Pills, Wuji Baifeng Pills, Yimucao Granules and other drugs for treatment under the guidance of a doctor, which can regulate the endocrine.

4. Endometritis: An inflammatory reaction caused by pathogens infecting the endometrium, usually accompanied by lower abdominal pain and fever, and sometimes accompanied by increased abnormal vaginal discharge, with an endometrial thickness of between 0.2 cm. You can take oral levofloxacin tablets, clindamycin hydrochloride capsules, minocycline hydrochloride capsules and other drugs as prescribed by your doctor to help dissipate inflammation and relieve symptoms.

5. Endometrial polyps: Endometrial polyps may be caused by factors such as excessive estrogen levels and excessive growth of local endometrium in the uterus. They may manifest as irregular vaginal bleeding, increased menstrual flow, prolonged menstrual period, etc., and may affect the endometrium, showing thickening. If necessary, hysteroscopic polypectomy can be selected under the guidance of a doctor, and local hygiene care needs to be done after the operation.

It may also be due to endometrial hyperplasia. If the symptoms do not improve or even worsen, it is recommended to seek medical attention in time to avoid delaying the condition. You should also do a good job of local hygiene and develop good work and rest habits.
