It seems that the endometrium is too thick
(8 mm) for a woman in menopause. During
menopause, the endometrium shouldn’t be
thicker than 2 mm. Increased thickness of
the endometrium is due to hyperplasia.
Endometrial hyperplasia found in a woman
during menopause should be taken very
seriously because such hyperplasia could
be due to endometrial cancer. You HAVE TO
perform a explorative curettage of the
endometrium to reveal the nature of that
hyperplasia. If something suspicious comes
out, then surgical removal of the uterus
(hysterectomy) will be requested.
