Please let me know your valuable feedback regarding this and whether the Endometrial Biopsy is necessary and also will this Biopsy costs this much?

Brief Answer:
its necessary but its never that costly.

Detailed Answer:
Hello.
if your mother is 51 and if she has attained menopause and if she is bleeding now then it is necessary to do a endometrial biopsy to rule out any hyperplasia with atypia and to rule out endometrial cancer.

But an endometrial biopsy is an office procedure and including the reportvit shoild cost at XXXXXXX 2000 rupees. And not 20000 at all.
Someone is duping you.

Thanks for your valuable feedback.

Is this curable by taking medicines as few people told me or is that the Endimetrial Biopsy is mandatory?
Also few informed me that better go for a Uterus removal.
Please advice

Brief Answer:
explained

Detailed Answer:
Hello.
the decision for removal or hysterectomy would depend on the endometrial biopsy report.
At 51 if her endometrial thickness is 13mm it is high.
hyperplasia if is present without atypia then medicines can be advised but if any atypia is present then hysterectomy would be required.
