Don't ignore it.: If 51 y.o. woman with endometrial thickness of 16mm is still menstruating, an interval study (transvaginal sonogram) is advised. It should be done shortly after period to see if endometrial thickness regressed. If she's postmenopausal, endometrial biopsy must be performed to rule out pre-cancerous or cancerous growth.
