thickened uterus lining

I thought i had gone through the menopause until i had a tiny bit of bleeding two weeks ago, nothing heavy just period pain and a bit of pink blood, stopped after two days. My dr sent me for a scan on thursday and i was told that my uterus lining is 5.8mm just above the normal range of 5mm. Im worrying myself sick , not eating and feeling and thinking all the worst things, are they just bing over cautious , any comments would be helpful, thankyo so much. Im new to this forum and have been reading some of your stories, Wishing everyone on here the best of luck and love xx

  • Almost 2 years after my last period I had a routine scan after bowel cancer surgery. It showed my womb lining was thickened. Alarm bells and worry yet again. Ultrasound confirmed this but the lady said it just looked like I was about to have a period. A few days after I started bleeding, just like a normal period. I had to go and have some biopsies taken which came back ok, then just to be sure I had to go to sleep for camera and more biopsies which also came back ok. I was told by the consultant that this is quite common that the ovaries kick up again and give the odd period after the menopause but it has to be checked out just in case. Good luck, hope this is the case with you.
