Thickened womb lining

I think its safe to say I have health anxiety and feel I need to speak it out

Last week I had a ultrasound and got a call 2 days later to say their concerned about the thickness of my womb and been referred for a biopsy urgently ... so a but if back story 

I have been having issues with my stomach for about a year now 

Started off when I went to doctors because I was having very water discharge or I was peeing myself slightly ( i have had issues with bladder since they cut my bladder with my 4th section 6 years ago) referred to urology and they done a pelvic ultrasound said my womb was thin which was to be expected because I am going through menopause. I am 43 and was told after doing bloods at 39 I was going through peri menopause. Last period was February 2025. But everything on scan looked good , I emptied my bladder had to be rescanned and I was still showing over 150mls of urine , so then into urology there scan showed I was holding over 400mls after emptying so was to be self catherised,  however after several trips to urology and studies done this changes all the time ... I have constant dull ache im my lower abdomen some times having shooting pain in left lower side , then I started to get very bloated, especially upper abdomen and it feels so uncomfortable,  I actually feel like I am heavily pregnant and look it !! Even turning in my bed its just like I did when I was heavily pregnant,  I now have pains in the top right hand side of abdomen just under my ribs 

I wake up feeling full and have put on so much weight but havent changed anything in my diet...other symptoms are constant tiredness like I wake up tired,  if I have a day out with the kids im bedded and for days it just floors me ! My bowels have changed there now very loose and I go 3/ 4 times a day and I am someone who has suffed constipation my whole life,  sex is so uncomfortable and sometimes I have some pink watery disharge after, in February I had a bleed bang on a year after no.period so I went to the doc and they booked me for a biopsy,  but come the day I went in and it couldn't be done by GP due to my blood disorder so said she would refer me back to gynecologist then she showed me a letter from 3 years ago where I was referred to them due to very heavy, very painful long lasting periods and they said if that continued they wanted to do a biopsy then but it was never followed through! 

And here i am now worried about every slight niggle have had a cough and feel so run down for about 6 weeks probably just from the stress of it all 

Sorry for the massive story I think I just needed to get it out, and if your still here I think my question is ... should I be worried that my womb is now thick when 5 month ago it was thin 

  • Hi Teenie82,

    I'm sorry to hear you've been struggling with these issues for a while now, and I can understand this causing some worries.

    It's good that you've seen the doctor recently and had a referral. I know the waiting and uncertainty can be difficult to deal with, but hopefully it won't be long to wait to get the answers you need.

    If it's helpful, you can make a note of any symptoms or changes that you notice, as a reference point and also to help you talk everything through with your doctor whenever you need to.

    It is difficult for me to answer your question but as I say, I hope you get any results and information you need soon.

    In the meantime if others have similar experience to share then hopefully they'll see your post and send a reply.

    Wishing you all the best,
