Hello and thanks for posting

I'm sorry to read about what's been happening and can appreciate that things like this can prey on your mind.

A thickened womb lining and polyp are common and are usually caused by benign conditions like hormonal changes, adenomyosis, or the polyp itself. An ultrasound scan cannot diagnose cancer, but it can suggest whether something looks more typical of a benign cause. A biopsy is the only way to rule out cancer completely, but it isn't always urgent especially if you are premenopausal as the womb lining naturally thickens during the menstrual cycle.

Endometrial cancer is much less common than benign causes particularly if you are not post menopausal . Doctors thinks it's usually safe to wait for a routine gynaecology appointment unless you have post menopausal bleeding, worsening heavy bleeding, are in severe pain or feel unwell.

Probably, the best thing to do is to discuss this further with your GP. Do mention that you are worried about endometrial cancer. Hopefully, they can clarify why you don't need an urgent appointment.

I hope this is of some help. Give us a ring if you would like to talk anything over. The number to call is Freephone 0808 800 4040 and the lines are open from 9am till 5pm Monday to Friday.

Kind regards,
