Hi,
With the question “What does the 34mm DAP and 13mm endometrial ultrasound results mean? ", the doctor would like to answer as follows:
DAP is the anteroposterior diameter of the uterus and endometrium 13mm means the thickness of the endometrium of the uterus. These indicators, especially the endometrium, can vary greatly during a woman's menstrual cycle.
Whether you are pregnant or not can not be concluded with this ultrasound, but need more information about last menstrual period, beta hCG levels. Lower abdominal pain can have many causes such as endometriosis, pelvic inflammatory disease, ... so you need to be examined and tested to find the cause.
If you still have questions about uterine ultrasound, you can go to a hospital under Vinmec Health System for further examination and advice. Thank you for trusting and sending questions to Vinmec. Wishing you lots of health.
