It is reasonable to offer hysteroscopy and visually-directed endometrial biopsy for asymptomatic postmenopausal women when ET is 8 mm or above. For those with an ET between 4 and 8 mm, further decision to perform biopsy should be determined on an individual basis, considering risk factors and blood flow signals of the endometrium.
