Hallow Dear,

Even though you are feeling fine, your spotting and endometrial thickness (lining of the uterus) are the issues of concern. At this age, the endometrium should be less than 4 mm in thickness.

I would advise you to undergo hysteroscopy and hysteroscopically guided endometrial biopsy to rule out any cancer or other pathological condition. If the reports are negative for cancer, well, you are happy.

Better to err on safer side. Please report to a Gynaecologist for evaluation of your endometrium.

Take care please.
