Postmenopausal endometrial thickening

Endometrial hyperplasia has a certain tendency to become cancerous, so it is classified as a precancerous lesion. However, according to long-term observations, most endometrial hyperplasia is a reversible disease, or it maintains a persistent benign state. Only a few cases may develop cancer after a long time interval. Postmenopausal endometrial thickening generally occurs in postmenopausal women with abnormal vaginal bleeding. Such conditions can generally be diagnosed with a curettage.
