According to the ultrasound report your
mother should only visit a gynecologist.
You didn’t tell me why doctors ordered
ultrasound examination. Thickened
endometrium at that age (72) should be
taken seriously. You can do hormonal
analyses for estrogen and you HAVE TO
consult some gynecologist immediately.
