Suggest Treatment For Thickened Endometrium
Hi. I am a 55 yr old who just had a US showing 16cm thickening of the uterine inter wall. I have not gone a whole year without a period so I do not think I am post menopausal . I have had a period every 4-6 months since 2012. I have a biopsy scheduled for next week. Is the thickening always related to cancer or can there be other causes.
