Hi, thanks for writing..
Endometrial thickness more than 5 mm in a postmenopausal women is considered abnormal and an endometrial biopsy is taken.. If the report is normal, nothing to worry.. If there is nay problem with the report, it has to be treated depending on the degree of lesion.. So always thickened endometrium in a postmenopausal women should be evaluated..Hope I have answered your query.. good day
