Brief Answer:
Mirena will be a better option, biopsy of endometrium should be done.
Detailed Answer:
Hello
Thank you for the update.
She is around the age for menopause, so such irregularities occur around this time.
Actually the ultrasound done is abdominal scan.
I would recommend you to get a pelvic ultrasound scan done.
Since the endometrial thickness is high, I will also recommend an endometrial biopsy ( sampling of the lining of the uterus and then tissue obtained to be sent to a lab ).
She cannot continue to be on high dosage Registrone permanently.
Endometrial biopsy will stop the bleeding and obtain a diagnosis too.
IF the report is normal, then it is better to have the intra uterine device called Mirena inserted, which delivers progesterone to the body, thus leading to reduced bleeding.
IT will give her relief for some time, by which time, she will be menopausal.
I hope this helps you.

Brief Answer:
Mirena should be fine.
Detailed Answer:
IF the report of the endometrial biopsy and a Pap smear is normal, there is no need for hysterectomy ( removal of the uterus ).
Mirena should be fine for her.
Take care, and write in whenever you want to.
