Brief Answer:
you should go for D&C and endometrium biopsy.

Detailed Answer:
Hello,

Welcome to HCM,

I can understand your concerns,

As you told that endometrium thickness is increasing and now it is 17 mm and you are 46years old.

At this age thickened endometrium is not a good sign.first,I will advise to go for D&C.it will help in decreasing heavy withdrawal bleeding and sample of endometrium for biopsy to rule out cancer.

Consult with your Gynecologist about it.

Hope this helps.
Feel free to ask further.

Thanks.
