Endometrial Stripe : The established cut point for recommending endometrial sampling "biopsy") is 5 mm: http://www.Reproductivemedicine.Com/feature/2008/feature102008.Php. There are many causes of thickening - including cancer, but hyperplasia at your age is the most common cause. Your gynecologist may want to perform a biopsy, based on his complete assessment of your medical history and risk factors.
