Ultrasound scan has me a little worried.

Hi all. Sorry to bother you 

I've had major cycle changes over the last year progressively getting worse to where I never know if I'm going to have a period miss a period or have two in a month when they do come they are horrendously heavy and painful. Suffering with pelvic pain and also nausea that I can't really explain away. 
 

I'm 40, very overweight and have a few health issues. But my periods have always been bang on from the age of 16 til late summer last year. Previously had a cyst removed and was flagged for hpv a few years ago. 

I had an ultrasound last Monday told yo expect results in a week when I asked before they started. Had a text from my drs Monday evening to say they had my results and would writing to gynaecology. 
 

I have a copy of the report due to having the nhs app and it is showing as abnormal. 
endometrial borders are indistinct,  thickness of 10.2mm which apparently doesn't fit my stage in cycle and Endometrium had a heterogenous appearance. 
 

im not great at waiting around. Asd mum and alot of health issues of my own mean I also have quite severe anxiety due to constantly being on edge. So kind of feeling stuck in limbo nurse did mention they would probably ask my to go for a hystescopy? I'm assuming this is some sort of other test. 

but has anyone had any experience of all this and it turning out to be absolutely nothing. As I'm making myself feel even worse stressing. 
 

thanks in advance Gem

  • Hello Gem

     

    I'm going through something too, not exactly the same but I'm a very anxious person too.

     

    I had an ultrasound for pelvic discomfort on 10th June, they said they had found a large fibroid. I'm post menopausal and not on HRT so this has started alarm bells.  I saw a private gynaecologist who scared the life out of me, told me it might be a uterine sarcoma.  I've had no bleeding since my last period 6 years ago. I've recently had blood tests and an MRI and I now have to have a CT scan tomorrow. I'm thinking the absolute worst and my anxiety is like nothing I've ever experienced in my life.  I have frightened myself to death on Google, I can't sleep, feel like I have constant pain (whether this is real or psychological I really couldn't say), I don't want to eat,  i can't go to work, my whole life feels like its stopped so I do understand how you are feeling. 

     

    I hope and pray we both get some good news soon.

  • Hi! 
    Thank you for replying I really apprieciate it! It's all very stressful isn't it but knowing we aren't alone certainly helps. Google is the absolute worst! It goes straight to worst case and terrifies you all at the same time. Oh bless that consultant sounds a little full on but I suppose he is just doing his job. I have noticed that you seem to get much more straight forward and to the point answers going private than nhs.
     

     I hope you get some answers and good news soon. 
     

    best wishes!
