Endometrial thickness 15mm

I first experienced post-coital bleeding about 4 months ago, went to GP and was told I had a cervical ectropion.

I have cramps, bloating, a feeling off fullness in my lower abdomen, diarrhoea and the post-coital spotting has developed into persistent bleeding, usually fresh red, sometimes with large clots, sometimes more like a blood stained discharge - for about 2 months.

Returned to GP who said she would refer me to have the ectropion cauterised, and an urgent USS. 

Today I had abdo and transvaginal USS, nothing was said directly to me, but I remember the endometrial thickness was 15mm. Anyone have any experience of a similar situation? I'm trying not to worry (I'm usually very laid back and logical!) but just have a feeling something isn't right.

  • I had all this, and more. My thickness was 18mm.

    I had tests and referred to cancer pathway, and was told had atypical endometrial hyperplasia which is precancerous and can turn into cancer. I have regular biopsies every 3 months, and there’s a range of options available.

    Fingers crossed for you 

  • I’m post menopausal my thickness was 8mm, I’ve also been diagnosed with atypia hyperplasia, although all womb biopsies have been normal it was found in a polyp, and currently have a mirena coil whil I get my blood sugars under control (which they are now). I am booked in for a hysterectomy on 18th September..my consultant is hoping the mirena will give me some much needed progesterone which wi hopefully keep the hyperplasia from spreading..I’m well aware though that there is still a 40% chance of cancer being found after the hysterectomy when it’s all biopsied  :(

    I hope you get good results from whatever treatment they are giving you x
