lining of uterus 4.4

Hi I love cake,  i have just noticed that you have not had a response yet so welcome to our group in what we all understand is a worrying time for you.  I assume, maybe wrongly, that as you haven’t had a period for five years that you are post menopausal so any amount of blood or pink spotting has to be investigated.  The procedure you are due to have on 13 December is probably a hysteroscopy which many of us on this forum have had, some under general anaesthetic.  If you type hysteroscopy or thickened lining into the search  at the top of this page you will find lots of posts about our experiences.  Also if you click onto any of our names you will find our profiles which may also help you.  xx

Hi I love cake,

I'm sorry you're going through this, I also had a trans vaginal ultrasound which showed thickening of the endometrium, so am waiting to see the gynaecologist. The thickness of the endometrium varies greatly depending on whether you've been through the menopause or not, and at what part of your menstrual cycle you're in. My ultrasound showed a thickening of 16mm, but this is potentially not actually that thick as depending on what part of my cycle I'm in them a measurement of up to 15mm can be normal. 

I really hope you get some answers soon, the waiting is the worst part X 

hi thank you for replying ,im 55 and post menapausal ,l have had lower back ache and my prolapse (whatever is prolapsed ?)feels like it is falling out ! totally agree waiting is the worst,i hope too that you find out soon so you can get to enjoy the festive season x

Hi just to add to Walkingladys reply and to explain prolapse:

Pelvic organ prolapse is when 1 or more of the organs in the pelvis slip down from their normal position and bulge into the vagina.

It can be the womb (uterus), bowel, bladder or top of the vagina.

Hope this helps, it can be very worrying  and maybe is the cause of the backpain.  You will hopefully get more answers  when you go to the pre op appointment.  X

Thank you,im hoping that is why i have back pain,she said it was not my womb as i thought that was what it was ,hence i had no idea about anything else falling down ;0( im thinking can it really fall out ? but i will askl on 9th Dec when i have pre op,im also wondering if they will just remove what ever is falling down ?im so naive  but thank you for replying x

hi thank you for the welcome,yes its a hysteroscopy under general as they could not do it whislt i was awake too painful for me. thank you for the tips i will do that now
