According to the ultrasound report your mother should only visit a gynecologist. You didn’t tell me why doctors ordered ultrasound examination. Thickened endometrium at that age (72) should be taken seriously. You can do hormonal analyses for estrogen and you have to consult some gynecologist immediately.
