A member asked:
Is endometrial hyperplasia always cancerous post menopause? or can it just be nothing to worry about? my endometrial lining is 6mm instead of 5m
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not always cancer: Generally not cancer, but good to have it checked with your gyn to see if therapy with medication or a procedure is indicated.
