Hello
Thanks for writing to HCM
According to USG report,your endometrial thickness is increased.You may need biopsy of endometrium after clinical assessment.Biopsy is needed due to its heterogeneous echotexture and echogenic foci within.
Biopsy can confirm nature of thickening means it is benign or malignant.
Uterus and cervix is normal in size and echotexture.
Right ovary appears normal.
Hope I have answered your question.
Take Care
