You can’t rely on postmenopausal endometrial thickening and bleeding alone to determine the chance of cancer, but this symptom is often considered abnormal.
Since the reproductive organs will shrink and the endometrium will become thinner after menopause due to the decrease of hormone level, especially the decrease of estrogen level, endometrial thickening with bleeding at this time is often considered abnormal.
Postmenopausal endometrial thickening with irregular vaginal bleeding may be caused by benign lesions such as endometrial hyperplasia, endometrial polyps, or malignant diseases such as endometrial cancer. Therefore, we cannot rely on the postmenopausal endometrial thickening and bleeding to judge the chance of cancer, but this manifestation may be caused by benign lesions as well.
Postmenopausal endometrial thickening and bleeding can be caused by a variety of reasons, so it is recommended that the patient should consult a doctor in time, complete the relevant examinations, clarify the cause of the disease under the guidance of the doctor, and target the treatment, so as to avoid delaying the condition.
