Polyp/thickening of lining

Malcesine
Offline

Hello,

I know no body can give any definitive answers but I'm just seeking advice from anyone who's been in a similar situation. I've had a vaginal scan done today and the doctor found a large polyp and thickening of the lining. Does this always mean cancer or are there other things that can cause this after menopause? 

Many thanks

    Hi

     

    I'm in the same situation. I'm 44, bled for 7 weeks straight, referred for scans which have found a thickened endometrium and a large polyp (gynaecologists words). I'm booked in for a hysteroscopy under general anaesthetic at the end of June and I am a little concerned. 
    I hope you have made progress with your diagnosis and are doing okay.
