Question: Hello, I have been experiencing prolonged bleeding since May short of 2 weeks. I went to the er and my ultrasound report states an endometrial lining 0f 30. Is that indicative of endometrial cancer.
30mm lining rather.
Brief Answer:
Biopsy is needed to define if cancer or benign hyperplasia.
Detailed Answer:
Hello dear, welcome to Ask a doctor service.
I read your query and here is my advice.
The endometrial lining thickness of 30 mm is really high. It doesn't necessarily mean that you may have cancer but also may have benign endometrial hyperplasia.
A d&c procedure should be done to do biopsy and determine if it is benign or cancer.
You should not worry before biopsy results..
Hope I have answered the question.
Let me know if I can assist you further.

Hello, I just recieved biopsy results and they are negative. Is a D&c required? Also the ultrasound report read 3cm thickness is that equivalent to 30mm?
Brief Answer:
D&c possibly performed before.
Detailed Answer:
Hello dear and thank you for asking again.
Congratulations for negative biopsy results.
The thickness 3 cm is equivalent with 30 mm and ultrasound shows it.
The d&c procedure probably was performed to provide biopsy material. If not it is needed to be done.

Best regards.
