How long does it take for the uterus wall to regain its full thickness after menstruation?
It usually takes about 2 weeks for the uterus wall to regain its full thickness after menstruation. The process of menstruation involves the shedding of the functional layer or endometrium of the uterus. After the menstrual period, the endometrium starts to regenerate and thicken again in preparation for the next menstrual cycle. The growth and thickening of the endometrium is influenced by hormones, mainly estrogen and progesterone. This process typically takes around 14-15 days, at which point the uterus wall regains its full thickness and is ready for the implantation of a fertilized egg.
