Missed Periods. Detected Possible Uterine Cancer, Uterus Thickness 12 Mm. No Bleeding. Advice
Hi. I am 47 years old, usually have normal periods but skipped last month's period and am currently 59 days since last period. I saw my gyno yesterday and my uterus is 12 mm thick. He thinks my period is due and says to come back to him to re-check the thickness after my period. I am worried, as he says this could be uterine cancer. I have had no breakthrough bleeding of any kind.

hi, at this age it is a possibility that ur menses may stop permanently or u may have irregularity for few months and then period may stop forever. the most common symptom of uterine cancer is irregular bleeding specially in a post menopausal woman. in my opinion, uterine cancer is less likely in ur case.
to be on safer side an endometrial biopsy will solve ur problem.
