A member asked:
Pathology report says prominent thickened endometrial lining at 1.5cm. is this bad? what does it mean by prominent thickened endo lining?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
There are a couple: of ways to measure the thickness of the endometrial lining..by ultrasound or by endometrial biopsy. Most agree that a thickness of 1 cm or 10 mm is classified as "thickened." Especially in older women, a thickened endometrium may suggest cancer, but most often non-cancerous causes explain it: normal hormonal changes, obesity, diabetes, polycystic ovarian syndrome. Your Doctor will advise.
