Measurement of endometrial thickness with ultrasonography is a modality commonly used today. Its clinical importance and applications extend throughout the phases of the reproductive lives of women. In premenopausal women, endometrial thickness is used to monitor infertility treatment, while in postmenopausal women with abnormal uterine bleeding it is useful as an initial investigation for endometrial hyperplasia or cancer. Moreover, endometrial thickness can vary with the menstrual cycle and with the use of hormone replacement therapy or selective estrogen receptor modulators. In this review, the use of ultrasound to measure both the premenopausal and postmenopausal endometrium is discussed.
如今，超声测量子宫内膜厚度是一种常用的方法。其临床重要性和应用贯穿女性生殖生活的各个阶段。在绝经前女性中，子宫内膜厚度用于监测不孕治疗，而在有异常子宫出血的绝经后女性中，它作为子宫内膜增生或癌症的初步检查很有用。此外，子宫内膜厚度会随月经周期以及激素替代疗法或选择性雌激素受体调节剂的使用而变化。在这篇综述中，将讨论使用超声测量绝经前和绝经后子宫内膜的情况。
