Endometrium Thickness of 14mm -

Hello all,

I’ve been feeling sore in gynae area for about a year.

i had an ultrasound on 26th Oct 23 privately and then again on the NHS on 5th Dec 23

the later ultrasound report reads as follows:

myometrium - bulky anteverted uterus measuring 90 x 52 x 55. The myometrium appeared heterogenous in echotexture with some cystic spaces identified. There is a focal area within the anterior myometrium which is hyperechoic with cystic spaces appearance. 

cervix - unremarkable 

The endometrium appeared slightly heterogenous and cystic with vascukarity noted within the endometrium. The endometrium measures 14mm in AP diameter. 

adnexal masses or cysts - no 

other comments - x 

urgent Gynecological referral is advised 

so my go received this in Dec 23 and I found out this week that my gp failed to do the referral. So my wait has started 

I have not eaten or slept in 2 days. 

I have 2 young children and my anxiety is through the roof. I have been told that I will get a consultant appointment within the next 2 weeks but then will have to wait for a Hysteroscopy. 

I just wanted to hear from anyone who had been in a similar situation and what the outcome was. 

Worried in an understatement. Someone please talk to me

  • that is appalling re your GP. Once you get sorted I would certainly put in a complaint.

    I am currently going trough tests to rule out Endometrial Cancer due to post menopausal bleeding, cramping and pelvic pain. 

    I had a trans vaginal and abdominal ultrasounds on Monday just fine and am now waiting for a hysteroscopy which is currently on 21st April but so am hoping for an earlier appointment or cancellation as 4 weeks is just too long for my liking. This is private but the delay is because my consultant is away. 

    What I can tell you is this, my consultant who is a Gynaecologist Oncologist, told me last week that 99% of women he sees do NOT end up having cancer. I found that very reassuring. 

    What I have tried to do is to only look at proper cancer related websites such as this site and mcmillan. I have also ready the NICE guidelines about endometrial thickness etc as my scan showed mine to be 6mm. It does seem that there are several different reasons as to why the endometrial thickness can be raised. some are not bad and some are, but what I have read about endometrial cancer is that it is highly treatable. 

    Wishing you good luck
