Hi, Thank you for your query. I understand your concern. Thick endometrium after menopause is certainly a sign to be taken as an urgent one. It is not cancer to start with but expectant treatment is not desired in such cases. You should consult a gynecologist , get endometrial biopsy done. This will help in early diagnosis . Even cancer if diagnosed in time can be tackled in good way.PLease do not be stressed. Bold decision & early investigation is needful at this moment. Thanks.
