Endometrial Monitoring

Meaning

Endometrial Monitoring is the clinical practice of systematically assessing the thickness, morphology, and overall health of the endometrium, the inner lining of the uterus, typically through transvaginal ultrasound and sometimes biopsy. This monitoring is particularly crucial for women undergoing hormone replacement therapy, especially those receiving unopposed estrogen, to detect any abnormal proliferative changes. Regular surveillance is an essential safety component of hormonal management to mitigate the risk of endometrial hyperplasia or carcinoma.
