Hi,

The endometrial thickness is more than normal for your age. Hysteroscopy offers a better view of the uterus in expert hands. Get a proper preoperative checkup for fitness and get it done. Further management can be planned accordingly.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Shanti Vennam, OBGYN
