What does uterine wall thickening mean?

In adult women of childbearing age, the size of the uterus does not change significantly during pregnancy. If the uterine wall is significantly thickened by color Doppler ultrasound, it is necessary to further examine whether the myometrium is thickened or the endometrium is thickened. If the myometrium is thickened, it may be caused by multiple uterine fibroids or adenomyosis. If the endometrium is thickened, it will occur during the implantation period of the embryo in early pregnancy. Adolescent or perimenopause women of childbearing age can cause anovulatory endometrial thickening, which can lead to functional uterine bleeding.
