Is the uterine cavity with a 10×15 mm thick echo structure dangerous?

Question
Hello doctor,
I am 49 years old this year, more than two years ago I had my uterine polyp removed, then after a while I stopped menstruating completely, so far for more than a year. In the last 1 month, I have symptoms of abdominal heaviness, lower back pain, a few times with a little pink blood. Going to ultrasound, the doctor concluded: The uterine cavity has a 10×15 mm thick echo structure, no Doppler signal. Please ask the doctor, is the uterine cavity with 10×15mm thick echo structure dangerous? Thank you doctor.

Hello,
To the question: “Is the uterine cavity with 10×15mm thick echo structure dangerous? The doctor would like to answer as follows:
She is 49 years old, has missed her period for more than 1 year, so it is called menopause. Vaginal bleeding after menopause and ultrasound "thick echo structure" is best to have a biopsy of the uterus. Your doctor will perform aspiration from your uterus to remove all or most of the thick echogenic structure in your uterus for histopathology. This result will show what group the structure belongs to, benign or abnormal to have the next treatment direction for her. And it should be done as soon as possible.
Therefore, the status and danger level has not been determined yet.
If you still have questions about the thick echo structure of the uterus, you can go to the hospital of Vinmec Health System to check and get more advice. Thank you for trusting and sending questions to Vinmec. Wish you a lot of health. Best regards!
