Hello
thank you for your query.
Your mother is suffering from menorrhagia ( excessive and heavy menstrual bleeding ).
Her endometrium is definitely thickened.
Whether the uterus requires removal depends on one factor - the histopathology or biopsy report of her D an C.
if the report shows a pre malignant or a troublesome condition, then hysterectomy is justified, otherwised based on current situation so far, it is not advisable.
Please follow up with me with the biopsy report.
take care
