Hi ladies, Ive been bleeding for 6 weeks continuously but wasn't too concerned as Ive reached menopause age and just put it down to that. A couple of days ago a go I ended up in A & E with severe abdominal and pelvic pain. I could honestly say it was like child birth contractions. The only thing that worked slightly was morphine for pain.
I was looked at thoroughly and a endometrial biopsy was taken. A ultrasound scan was also performed. I'm left quite confused and shaken as I didn't even think much of the whole bleeding scenario but was told after the scan that my uterus lining is very thick 17mm. The biopsy will confirm if I have endometriosis hyperplasia and if it is cancerous. That if it is hysterectomy would.be the only treatment. I also got referred for a hysterectomy because she thinks I may also have a polyp.
I couldn't ask all the questions that I have now as it was quite a lot of information to take in.
1. How common is it for endometriosis hyperplasia to be present with a 17mm thickness and how common would cancer be present. Also if cancer isn't present would I still need a hysterectomy as the chances of going that way are high.
The results won't be back for 3 to 4 weeks, so it seems quite a wee while to be anxious and in pain. Meanwhile Im taking tranexanim acid and northestrone to control the bleeding and diclofenac for the pain, although they're only taking the edge away. Sorry for a long paragraph. X
