Hello, I had a transvaginal ultrasound last Friday afternoon and GP call on Monday morning, the scan showed my endometrium has doubled in thickness since my scan last year from 7mm to 14mm. I am 56 years old and because I've been bleeding and spotting I'm not sure whether I'm still perimenopausal or post menopause. I am petrified about having the hysteroscopy awake as years ago I had one and they couldn't do it as it hurt so much they have me a general anaesthetic. Has everyone managed this whilst awake? maybe things have improved if I ask for a general I'm sure it will delay my treatment as am on a two week referral. Any feedback is appreciated. Thank you
Thank you for your reply, everyone on here has a wonderful supportive disposition, truly an inspiration. I will let you know what happens next
