Does Change In Uterine Wall Thickness And Fibroid Indicate Cancer?
I am a 45 years old woman with no health issues. I do my Gynecological test in every year. Just saw little changes in my Uterine wall thickness. Last year it was 10mm n this year it is 13mm on the 5 th day of my menstruation period. I had one fibroid of 2.8 mm of thickness. I have family history of endometrium cancer . Is this anything alarming? Do I need any further investigation for this? Thanks and regards.

Hi and welcome to HCM,thank you for your query.
This is still not alarming but it requires frequent check ups and if there is any doubt about malignancy, curretage and biopsy should be done. Such finding susually indicates just benign lesions or endometrial hyperplasia. If this persist you should cosnider hormonal therapy but i dot think that treatment is necessary at this point.
Wish you good health. Regards
