Endometrium thickness 21mm premenopausal

Hi

I saw the GP due of bleeding/spotting on off and got referred to gynaecology. The consultant at gynaecology did a transvaginal scan and said my endometrium is very thick. 21mm and is a bit bizarre. She has referred me to biopsy and on a 2 week cancer pathway.

Am worried sick. Anyone with this thick endometrium here can advise. Am 43 and pre menopausal.

    Hello,

    I can’t give you any advice I’m afraid but I’m currently in the exact same scenario as you. Endometrial thickness picked up on 2 scans. I got referred to gynaecology and after some pushing from my side they put me on the cancer pathway and I’ve got a hysteroscopy and biopsy  booked in next week. I’m worried sick and extremely anxious it’s more the waiting that’s bothering me. I’ve had extreme bleeding for almost 2 years now and it’s taken 14 month for me to get to this stage after my concerns being dismissed. I hope you get somewhere shortly.
