Hi,
I’ve been asked to have an urgent hysteroscopy with d&c under sedation following my tv ultrasound for heavy bleeding and anaemia. The consultant shared that this was because three concerns were raised by the sonographer: thick, irregular, ill-defined, vascular endometrium at the fundus. The consultant said he thought he was endometrial hyperplasia but wouldn’t he drawn on which type - but did say it was the combination of the four findings that was leading him to call for the urgent hysteroscopy. Just wondered if anyone else has had the same findings in their tv ultrasound and what it led to? The tv was very painful on one side!
Hi Poppy
I am sorry to hear that you have had some heavy bleeding that needed investigation.
Where anything unusual is seen on a TV ultrasound the hysteroscopy/biopsy is the normal next step and it is done on the urgent basis. This is because they always like to rule out the potentially most serious causes first.
It sounds like your womb lining was thicker than they would normally expect and that the lining is not as smooth as they would expect. There can be different causes for this. The important thing is for them to have a closer look with the hysteroscope (camera) and to take some cells for testing.
Without the biopsy no one can say for sure what is causing the changes to the endometrium and that is why the doctor can not really confirm a lot more at the moment. Even with hyperplasia there can be different types. I think the main thing is that you were right to get checked with the symptoms you have had and hopefully in the next 2/3 weeks you should have some answers and an idea of what treatment (if any) is needed.
Fingers crossed you can have the hysteroscopy soon. In the meantime if it would help to talk things through, then please do give the Support Line a call.
Good Luck
Jane
