Hi,
Thanks for the query.
The endometrial thickness varies from 1mm to around 10mm depending on different phases of menstrual cycle.
Though you are having thickened endometrium, if you are not having any symptoms like excessive bleeding during periods, inter-menstrual bleeding, pain abdomen etc then no need to worry.
If you are having any of these symptoms better to consult your gynecologist once.
Take care.
