Medical Conditions - Endometrial Thickness

Endometrial thickness refers to the measurement of the endometrial lining, which is the inner layer of the uterus that thickens and sheds during the menstrual cycle. The thickness can vary depending on the stage of the menstrual cycle, with the thickest lining occurring during the luteal phase. Abnormal thickness can indicate potential issues such as hormonal imbalances, endometrial polyps, fibroids, or cancer. Endometrial thickness is also a key factor in successfully implanting a fertilized egg during pregnancy, with a thickness of at least seven millimeters required for optimal chances of conception.
