How thick does the uterine wall need to be to have menstruation? What should I do if the uterine wall is too thick and the menstruation is too heavy?

Generally, menstruation will occur when the uterine wall is about 10 mm thick. Before menstruation, the uterine wall is relatively thin. Menstruation will only occur when it grows to a certain thickness, but the thicker the better. If the thickness of the uterine wall exceeds 10 mm, it may cause excessive menstruation.

Most women of childbearing age will have menstruation, which is a very common physiological phenomenon. Menstruation is caused by the shedding of the endometrium, but the endometrium will not shed casually. It needs to reach a certain thickness for this phenomenon to occur. So how thick does the uterine wall need to be to have menstruation?
1. How thick is the uterine wall when menstruation occurs <br/>Menstruation occurs only when the thickness of the uterine wall reaches 10 mm. Before menstruation, the uterine wall of women is relatively thin. Menstruation occurs only when it grows to a certain thickness, but the thicker the better. If the thickness of the uterine wall exceeds 10 mm, menorrhagia may occur. The thickness of the uterine wall is generally affected by estrogen. Too thin or too thick is abnormal and should be taken seriously.
2. What to do if the uterine wall is too thick and the menstrual period is too much
1. Oral progesterone <br/>This situation may be caused by abnormal hormone secretion in the body, which is considered to be excessive estrogen secretion. At this time, it can be treated by oral medication, usually oral progesterone. Progesterone can be used to antagonize estrogen to achieve the purpose of treatment, but the treatment time is limited, usually it takes several months.
2. Diagnostic curettage <br/>If the effect of this method is not very good, then endometrial curettage should be performed under hysteroscopy. This operation can determine the stage of endometrial changes, and then perform periodic conditioning according to the pathological results. This can prevent persistent endometrial thickening and reduce the incidence of endometrial polyps, submucosal fibroids and other diseases.
