What Could Be The Possibility Of Having Cancer After Diagnosed With Endometrium Echogenic , Thickness 22mm ?

Hello,
I went for internal ultrasound and the results were as 'endometrium is echogenic, thickness 22mm'. My gynecologist advised me to see an IVF consultant. I am planning to have a baby. She also said I don't have Cancer, but she has not done any tests to verify it. I am scared now.....whether I will be able to conceive, Whether I am having Cancer....Please help...

Hello and welcome to HCM,
Before commenting on any of your query, it is important to know your age and day of your menstrual cycle.
Endometrium undergoes thickening during proliferative phase but the thickness is much more than what is expected in the proliferative phase.
Thickened endometrium is characteristic of endometrial hyperplasia and cancer.
Endometrial hyperplasia is seen in deficient secretory phase or excess of estrogen and deficiency of progesterone.
Before concluding that you are suffering from cancer, you need to get your hormonal levels done.
Imbalance of hormones interferes with implantation of the embryo in the uterine cavity or difficulty in maintenance of pregnancy.

Thanks and take care
