The measurement or study of the endometrium, particularly its thickness and changes during the menstrual cycle or pregnancy.
From 'endometrium' and '-metry' (measurement, from Greek 'metron'). This technical term emerged in modern obstetrics as ultrasound allowed non-invasive measurement of endometrial thickness.
Endometry via ultrasound is now crucial for fertility treatments—doctors can predict exactly when a woman's endometrium is thick enough for an embryo to implant successfully, turning pregnancy timing into precision medicine.
