Endometrial Thickness

Meaning

Endometrial Thickness is a precise clinical measurement referring to the depth of the endometrium, which is the inner lining of the uterus, typically assessed using transvaginal ultrasound imaging. This measurement serves as a critical indicator in reproductive endocrinology, accurately reflecting the proliferative and secretory phases of the natural menstrual cycle. Deviations from the expected thickness can signal significant hormonal imbalances, such as unmanaged estrogen excess or deficiency, or potentially indicate underlying uterine pathology.
