There is significant overlap between appearance of a normal post partum uterus and retained products. If there is no endometrial canal mass or fluid, and endometrial thickness is less than 10 mm and without increased flow, retained products are statistically unlikely. [4] [5] [6]
Cross section through the wall of a hysterectomy specimen of a 30-year-old woman who reported chronic pelvic pain and abnormal uterine bleeding.

The report broke down my scan into informational findings, which was info about my breast tissue composition and endometrial thickness, and minor findings, which might be something abnormal.
An endometrial thickness (EMT) of less than 7 mm decreases the pregnancy rate in in vitro fertilization by an odds ratio of approximately 0.4 compared to an EMT of over 7 mm. However, such low thickness rarely occurs, and any routine use of this parameter is regarded as not justified. The optimal endometrial thickness is 10mm.
As one of the few cancers on the rise, it’s important to know the facts about endometrial cancer—especially if you are a postmenopausal woman. (Women 45 and younger are rarely diagnosed.) When ...
