A member asked:

Hi good evening my grandmother got her pelvic ultrasound results. reading. .. the endometrial stripe is thickened and heterogeneous but is avascular. ?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Endometrial biopsy: A thickened endometrium in a postmenopausal woman should be investigated by means of a biopsy, because this could be a pre-cancerous lesion. Had the sonographer described vascularity, concern for malignancy would be much greater.
