Endometrium measuring 24.8mm. Is this cancer?

Hi everyone! I’ve been experiencing bleeding between periods for a year, and had a scan today that showed my endometrium lining was quite thick, especially for 15 days post bleeding. It’s measuring 24.8mm, and while the doctor didn’t say anything about it other than it was unusual, google is suggesting that anything over 20mm is cancerous.

I have a follow up with my GP tomorrow, so I will discuss it with him, but I’m sat in a car park right now terrified. I’m only 26.

  • Potentially, but I can’t find anything online to support that. I know I shouldn’t be googling but can’t help it really. Endometriosis has been mentioned a few times as a possible cause to my bleeding but only found out about the thickness yesterday. I’m terrified of surgery so there’s that hanging over me too.

    Thank you for replying.
