Hi,
I am after some advise and help/reassurance.
So here's some background. I am 27 and previously had a laparoscopy in early 2018 for fibroid removal after heavy periods/various other symptoms. Fibroids were found after an internal scan.
Fast forward to beginning of this year and I went back to the GP because my periods were not any better despite the fibroid removal. I was meant to have a scan in April that got cancelled and moved to August. So when I went to my scan in august my endometrial lining measured 15.9mm, which the sonographer wasn't happy with, so she asked for me to come back again. I returned 2 weeks ago for another scan where it showed that my lining was 17mm, again they weren't happy so asked me to return (gynaecologist discussed with me about having endometrial hyperplasia), which leads to today. I go back today where I am told my lining is between 5-6mm, and that they have seen some blood in my womb on the scan. I didn't get much from it other than it will be referred back to my GP & I can ring for results in a weeks time.
My symptoms are heavy periods that don't last long (2-3 days), but happen quite often - this is my second time bleeding this month. I suffer with lower back pain, tiredness, loss of appetite, pain during sex and very bad pain the day after sex. I am constantly tired and struggle but I do have aneamia. My periods are debilitating in terms of - I can't sleep through the night without bleeding through despite going to the toilet, when I stand up I have huge gushes and bleed through clothes, I am light headed, my heart struggles and I can do barely anything.
I've done the one thing that I shouldn't and that is to google symtpoms. I spent a week before my scan worried about endometrial hyperplasia and now I'm terrified because of the comment about my womb.
Does anyone have any experience with some of the above. I'm looking for some reassurance but also some truths and experiences. I am going to ring the GP on Friday to see if any results and see if I can push through to be seen quicker. Like I said previously, this has been going on for years but really changed the last 2-4 years and I need to get this sorted. Has anyone gone private.? I have suffered long enough and don't want to anymore- and now I'm dealing with other issues that it could be.
Apologies for the long post but I just need to chat to people who have/been through the same thing.
Thanks
