Should I Be Concerned For The Uterus Lining Thickness At The Age Of 71?
71 years old - good health - spoted - was a nurse had a ultro sound - lining is 62mm - waiting for biopsy report - had d and c l0 yrs ago - was fine for the same reason - really concerned about the thk number 62mm . Is that more serious than a smaller number.
Hi, Welcome to health care magic and thanks for asking. After going through the clinical history and laboratory findings, my opinion is as follows: 1. At 71 years age, 62 mm thickness is high 2. Recommendation for biopsy is anything more than 4mm. 3. Expected to be atrophic at this age and this thickness definitely is high risk and biopsy is necessary to rule out cancer.
Yes, it is serious. Any further queries, happy to help again.
