Diagnosis typically involves a combination of medical history, physical examination, and imaging techniques. Key methods include:
Ultrasound: This is often the first step in detecting abnormalities in the uterine lining. MRI: Provides a more detailed image and is useful in assessing the extent of thickening. Endometrial Biopsy: Involves taking a tissue sample from the uterus to check for abnormal cells or cancer. Hysteroscopy: A procedure that allows direct visualization of the uterine cavity.
