Thickness of the endometrium
The size of the mucosa changes with the course of the cycle, it can be “heterogeneous”, have some inclusions or excess blood flow. Any deviation from the norm must be taken into account in order to exclude polyps and hyperplasia.
“It is also desirable, if something is found, to conduct a second ultrasound following menstruation,” recommends gynecologist Ekaterina Volkova. – If menstruation is irregular or has not been for a long time, while the endometrium is thin, then it does not receive the influence of sex hormones and, most likely, there will be no menstruation in the near future.
Fluid in the pelvis
Small amount of liquid may be normal. But if an ultrasound detects liquid in an amount over 100 millilitersthis is a reason to be wary and exclude inflammation, formations and cysts.
