I would recommend that a hysteroscopy and D&C be done if it has not been
done within the past year because there is no way to know if this is
from fibroids, hormones, or something ore ominous. If the workup is
complete and there are not serious findings then it is OK to just
observe until yet another year has passed when another look should be
considered. An endocervical curettage and endometrial biopsies are a
good idea.
