What Causes Irregular Menstruation When Uterus Lining Is 13 Mm Thick?

I thought that I was in menapuse as I did not have periods for nearly for one year or so, but four weeks ago I had bleeding and after an ultrasonography my doctor said there was an egg and at the same time my uterus lining was 13mm thick. Today I went through another ultrasonographi he said the egg has gone, and it is still thick about 13mm. I am 55

Hello,
Thanks for sharing your health concern with us. In the current scenario, considering your age, the ideal thing would be to get an endometrial biopsy, pap smear, hormone assay, urinalysis and follow up after the biopsy report. Menopause is considered to have been established when there is no natural period for a year. Occasional ovulation can still happen during this stage and lead to a menstrual cycle. In your case, the endometrial thickness suggests unopposed estrogen action. Hence an endometrial biopsy would be useful. Hope your query has been answered. Wish you good health.
