Suggest Home Remedy For Endometrial Cancer

I am 67 years old and recently had approximately 5-7 days of vaginal bleeding. It stopped and I went to an OBGYN for a ultrasound. Her nurse said although noted as rather normal scan my endometrial thickness was 8mm. What home remedies should i take to prevent endometrial cancer?

Hi,
Thanks for writing in.

The inner lining of uterus is called endometrium. At 67 years age, you might be having an overactive endometrium. The endometrium is shed suring the periods in women of the reproductive age group. At your age, it is important to get an endometrial biopsy if your gynecologist has advised one. Hormonal changes can cause vaginal bleeding in elderly women but if you had a continuous bleeding for 5 to 7 days then it is a concern for endometrial polyp or cancer. Since no large polyp is seen, it can also be that the endometrium is altered due to many reasons. Early stages of cancer cannot be seen on ultrasound. I suggest you also get a MRI scan of your pelvis with the recommendation of your doctor and then do endometrial biopsy. If the biopsy results are negative for malignancy then benign causes must be thought of. If the bleeding repeats frequently then you might require a surgery. There is no home remedy to prevent endometrial cancer.Please do not worry.
