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.

  • You don’t say whether you are pre or post menopause…post menopause and thickness should be between 4-5mm, pre menopause is different because thickness changes with your cycle.

    Thank you for your responses.

    I am 38 and pre-menopausal. I was diagnosed with PCOS in my early 20s and have always had very infrequent (2 or 3 a year), irregular but very heavy periods. I know anovulation is a risk factor for endometrial cancer, so that has always been something on my mind.

    Depending on the outcome of further investigations, I'll be looking into having a mirena coil for the hormonal benefits. 

    I hope all goes well with your hysterectomy and results of biopsies.
