Brief Answer:
Need more information.

Detailed Answer:
Hello dear,
Thanks for trusting hcm about your health care.
I have gone through your history and understand your concerns.
Increased endometrial thickness at your mothers age can be due to endometrial hyperplasia, endometrial cancer,polyp, increased thickness can be due hormonal imbalance.
But before giving my opinion about it I want to ask a few questions from you.
She achieve menopause or not( at what age)?
Is she having any symptoms like vaginal bleeding etc?
Is she suffering from any disease or on any medication?
Upload her ultrasound report?
Hope to hear from you soon.
Good luck.

Endometrial biopsy is advised.

Detailed Answer:
Hello dear,
Thanks for the response.
If she is having vaginal bleeding and increased endometrial thickness she should consult a Gynecologist and get her endometrial biopsy done to rule out the polyp,endometrial cancer and other causes.
Treatment depends upon the causes.
Please get back to us with her biopsy report.
Good luck.
Regards
