Hi Nisha,
Normal endometrial thickness in premenopausal age group is upto 10mm.
Since your ET is 18mm , i recommend you to get a hysteroscopic directed biopsy.
It is gold standard in investigation of endometrial lesions.
Your menstrual irregularities could also be attributed for the same.
Hence consult a Specialist gynecologist For early diagnosis and treatment.
Hope this helps,
regards,
Dr Nilofer
