Thickening of the womb

Hi I'm 27 and have been experiencing a change in periods (I have 2 per month), spotting inbetween, pelvic/back pain and very painful ovulation. I had a ultrasound today and it was done by a Dr. She told me there is a part of my womb which has thickened in the lining and it will require more in depth examination and biopsies. Should I be worried about endometrial cancer? Given the massive shift in periods and pains etc I KNEW something wasn't right.. 

 

I had a ultrasound in January which was completely normal but now in June it has changed?

  • Hey Nicole, 

    I'm sorry to hear that a part of your womb lining has thickened and for the worry this is causing. I hope it helps to know that many of our members have contended with this issue so you are not alone and hopefully you will get to hear about their experiences and receive some support and advice from them soon.

    If you'd like to discuss your situation in more detail with one of our nurses, they're available on 0808 800 4040, Monday - Friday between 9a.m - 5p.m.

    I know I can't take the worry away Nicole, but I hope it helps to know we're thinking of you and will have our fingers crossed the results of your other tests bring good news.

    Kind regards,

    Steph, Cancer Chat Moderator
