Question 1

what does a 1 cm endometrium mean?

Accepted Answer

Less than 25mm: It means nothing in a woman before menopause. Greater than 25 mm after menopause is not normal. You will need to ask the doctor ordering the test to interpret your specific results in the context of your medical issues.

Question 2

what does inactive endometrium mean?

Accepted Answer

Three possibilities:  Inactive may be used to refer to the endometrium basalis - the part of the endometrium that does not respond to cyclic hormone changes and is therefore normally 'inactive.' (The active part of the endometrium is called the endometrium functionalis). the term inactive could also refer to atrophic glands (due to aging) or to glands in a polyp that don't respond to hormonal cycles. Nothing to worry!
