Is 25mm thickening womb anything to worry about?

MMR

Hi,

I'm beside myself, I have suffered from heavy periods all my life. Last year the thickening was 19mm and I had a Hysteroscopy but made no difference and the last year my cycles are worse and longer and all over the place.  I'm 47 so unsure if this anything to do with perimenopause and not one doctor has mentioned menopause to me. 

Yesterday I had a scan at 4pm and the Doctor called me at 5.30pm to tell me that the thickening was 25mm and will refer me to a Gynaecologist within 2 weeks.  I only wanted the Mirena coil fitted but now I have to wait.  Anyone else put my mind at rest, anyone experienced the same as me?

Thank you.

    Me too, I had exactly the same. I was then 54 And getting Weird bleeding I might go three months with no period at all then bleed for 14 days straight then a two weeks off then another 10 days of bleeding. my menstrual cycle was all over the place, and even when I was mid period I was still having a very light bloody discharge. It called endometrial hyperplasia and I too had the same coil fitted. this completely stopped the bleeding and I have not had any further symptoms since. touch wood! incidentally they also removed some polyps that can turn nasty.

    I hope that puts your mind at rest.
