Question 1

what is considered a prominent endometrial stripe?

Accepted Answer

Depends: Will depend what your provider means. Prominent could refer to stripe thickeness or brightness on sono but usually thickness. Much more of an issue in women after menopause where thickness could be a sign of abnormal tissue buildup. In younger women on pills/patches/iud stripe should be thin. Not on hormones the stripe will vary by time of month. Most prominent before cycle.Can be seen with polyps

Question 2

im 23 years old and just found out i have a 2 cm prominent thickening of the endometrial stripe, i have left pelvic pain  should i be worried?

Accepted Answer

Millimeters or cms.?: One centimeter equals 10 millimeters and therefore a 2 cm thickening of the endometrium in a non pregnant uterus is a concern. Usually the endometrium is sampled (biopsied) to find out why. Check with your GYN MD for further advice.

Question 3

is an endometrial stripe of 6 mm bad ?

Accepted Answer

6mm: would generally be considered normal.

Question 4

is an endometrial stripe of 0.6cm thick normal?

Accepted Answer

The thickness: of the endometrium varies throughout a woman's cycle. It is thickest just before menstruation, but in general, anything under 1 cm is considered normal. Hope this helps!

Question 5

is a 0.7 cm endometrial stripe cause for concern?

Accepted Answer

Depends: If you were 59 that stripe would not be normal but at 49 it could be depending on where you are during your cycle if still having periods. If taking pills that stripe would be abnormal. Could indicate a polyp or build up of tissue if not having regular cycles. Would need to know why was this checked? If concerned could either biopsy or take Progesterone to thin out or check seral sonograms.

Question 6

endometrial stripe measures of 1.0cm, is it normal?

Accepted Answer

Lining.: 1 cm is normal in a menstruating women - i.e. Not menopausal.

Question 7

my endometrial stripe is 5.7mm, what does this mean?

Accepted Answer

Basically normal: The lining of the womb is the endometrium and depending upon when in the menstrual cycle that it was noted appears to be normal in length.

Question 8

endometrial stripe measures 1.2 cm is that good or bad?

Accepted Answer

Not sure: A 12mm endometrial strip, assuming you still have cycles, can be normal towards the end of your cycle.  If you are having abnormal bleeding, then an endometrial biopsy is indicated in women 40 years of age and older.  I would need more details of your history to give you a better answer.

Question 9

is a endometrial stripe measuring 0.4 cm okay or not good?

Accepted Answer

: The importance of endometrial stripe thickness depends on pre or post menopausal uterus, the timing the US is done during the cycle and the indication of the pelvic ultrasound. So if you have the US done due to abnormal vaginal bleeding, this thickness rules out endometrial hyperplasia as the cause but if you want to get pregnancy then this result is not good if US was not done during period time.

Question 10

thickened endometrial stripe, what does it means? thank you

Accepted Answer

Endometrium: The endometrium is internal lining of the uterus. It can be measured via sonogram. This is referred to the endometrial stripe. In premenopausal women this will vary depending on where you are in the menstrual cycle. Some causes of a thick endometrium include endometrial polyps and uterine fibroids.
