Brief Answer:
As explained below.

Detailed Answer:

Hi,

Thickening of the endometrium can be due to fibroids or hormonal changes. To rule out cancer, you need to get an endometrial biopsy. Chance of cancer is very less. Brown discharge can be due to infection as well. I suggest you discuss with your treating doctor and go for further investigations such as biopsy.

I hope this answered your query.
