Abnormal pelvic ultrasound

Glase
Offline

Hi I had an abnormal ultrasound and have been referred on 2 week wait. Appointment is next Friday. I am 41 started HRT in February and have had abnormal bleeding for 3months. I have been told to stop HRT and since I have the bleeding has stopped? They found an I'll defined heterogenous endometrium measuring 11mm with visible feeding vessels? Can anyone shed any light on what they think is going on? I would appreciate any advise as I am so worried now! Ca125 was normal. 

Thanks

  • Hi Lisa,

    I can understand the uncertainty and waiting must be causing some concern - it's good to hear that the appointment isn't too far away.

    It's hard to advise on what the issue may be, but hopefully you'll get the answers you need before long, following the appointment. If you feel you'd like to talk to someone ahead of that, you are welcome to give our nurses a call. You can reach them on 0808 800 4040 (Monday-Friday, 9-5).

    Wishing you all the best,

    Lots of things it could be - could be benign submucosal fibroid, endometrial polyp or possibly endometrial hyperplasia (if there are cystic spaces in the endometrium). Not necessarily cancerous although they will check to make sure. Usually the most likely is a polyp but they'll not know for sure until they've done more tests. Hope it goes okay. Tx
