Endometrium 15.7mm

I've been on the pill for many years previously on combined but had auras so moved to Cerazette. I am 52 and have 4 children. I had visual disturbance a year ago and because l had 3 vadovagal episodes in 25 years was checked. They found a multi modular goitre but although 2.8cm at largest was not considered a worry. Over the last couple of years l have had occasional spotting, when l mentioned to my GP l was told that this could happen. Approximately 3 weeks ago l started spotting, some bright red, some dark and some fibrous bits. I had a phone consultation with GP a week ago, an ultrasound on Friday and was found that my endometrial lining was 15.7mm, abnormally thickened endometrial cavity with a heterogeneous echopatter and minimal vascularity. It's says a differential would be between endometrial hyperplasia and large polypoid formation although underlying  sinister pathology cannot be ruled out. I have been referred for an urgent consultation and am obviously concerned that it's something sinister. In the last couple of months l have been doing a large amount of walking, some weeks doing 45 miles in order to loose some weight during lock down. I was previously slightly overweight, 75kg and 5'6" now just under 69kg I have some aching, period like but unsure if this is from exercise or a long couple of drives last week! I was meant to get a call by today, but as yet haven't heard anything. I'm aware that hospitals around me aren't doing any investigations for a few weeks but also aware that this means that some underlying conditions are being missed.

  • Hello Cheshire1994 and welcome to our forum! 

    I hope that you did get that phone call in the end and that you won't need to wait to long to be seen by the specialist. I can imagine it must be a very stressful time for you while waiting to find out more.

    I know it is really hard but try not to worry too much or anticipate what it might be. The best thing to do to avoid thinking too much about this is to keep busy and distracted if you can and avoid looking things up online. I can imagine it is hard for you to do this at the moment but it will help you feel a little less anxious. 

    I hope you will also hear from others here who have been through all this before and that they will be along soon to share their story with you. 

    Keeping everything crossed for you that everything turns out fine. 

    Best wishes,

  • I had a hysterscopy under general after they failed to remove polyp and it was around 3 - 4 cm and benign, I tried the coil but didn't like it and had it removed, eight months later I started to have irregular bleeding again and after an ultrasound was given an urgent referral.  They found that either the existing polyp had not been removed or it was a new one, this was removed and found to be benign.  Thinking of you all, it is very frightening and the waiting makes it worse.
