Endometrial thickening refers to the thickness of the female endometrium exceeding the normal range during a certain period of the menstrual cycle. It is a common manifestation of many gynecological diseases, such as luteal insufficiency, polycystic ovary syndrome, endometriosis, etc. Endometrial thickening has no obvious symptoms in the early stage, but long-term existence can lead to serious consequences such as infertility. Therefore, early detection and treatment of endometrial thickening is crucial.

Medical ultrasound scanner is currently one of the most commonly used diagnostic tools in clinical practice. It can image human tissues through the reflection of sound waves and measure various parameters such as organ size, shape, structure, blood flow velocity, etc. In the field of gynecology, medical ultrasound scanners are also widely used for the diagnosis and treatment of endometrial thickening.

Firstly, medical ultrasound scanners can directly observe the thickness of the endometrium. Doctors can clearly see the shape and structure of the endometrium on the screen, and determine whether there is thickening by measuring its thickness. Generally speaking, the thickness of the endometrium varies at different stages of the menstrual cycle, but it should not exceed 10mm under normal circumstances. If the doctor finds that the thickness of the endometrium exceeds 10 millimeters, further examination is needed to determine the cause.

Secondly, medical ultrasound scanners can help doctors observe the blood flow and distribution of the endometrium. The blood flow of the endometrium is crucial for regulating the menstrual cycle in women. If the blood flow is insufficient or uneven, it may lead to endometrial thickening. Medical ultrasound scanners can observe the blood flow of the endometrium through color Doppler technology and calculate parameters such as bleeding flow velocity and blood vessel diameter, thereby more accurately diagnosing the cause of endometrial thickening.

In addition, medical ultrasound scanners can also perform endometrial biopsy. Doctors can send endometrial tissue samples obtained under ultrasound guidance to the laboratory for cytological and pathological examination to determine the exact cause of endometrial thickening. This method is relatively accurate, but for some patients it may cause discomfort and pain.

In summary, medical ultrasound scanners have very important application value in the diagnosis of endometrial thickening. It can visually observe the thickness and blood flow of the endometrium, and provide doctors with more accurate diagnostic basis and more effective treatment plans for patients.
