Less likely: With regular periods your endometrial stripe would not likely indicate cancer, but 20 mm is unusually thick - esp. With regular periods. It most likely mean nothing, it could possibly represent endometrial hyperplasia. Your doctor can and should discuss this with you, he./she may recommend an endometrial biopsy.

Ultrasound in 2018 stated mild adenomyosis. Im worried now that it could be mistaken for endometrial cancer as it also causes a thickened lining of the uterus. Would I have had more symptoms by now if it was (god forbid) cancer? Should I get biopsy?
