Endometrial thickening

Hi

Just turned 50

not had a period for 12 months then had 2 in the last 6 months with 4 days of pink/brown d/c.

gp sent me for ultrasound and was told that lining was above measurement it should be so gynae referral needed and biopsy.  I am terrified this is sinister.  Any advice? 
 

thanks

  • Hello Gardener50

    I'm sorry to hear that you've had some issues with bleeding recently. It's understandable that you're feeling anxious and I know that we've had many women post here on the forum in the past who have found themselves in similar circumstances. 

    Do you know how long before you will be able to see the Consultant? Hopefully, the wait won't be too long and they will be able to do the necessary investigations and give you some reassurance. 

    In the meantime, you might find it helpful to talk things through with one of our team of nurses. I'm sure they will be able to offer some advice and support to help whilst you're waiting for your appointment. If you'd like to speak with them they're back in the office after the bank holiday on 0808 800 4040 (Mon-Fri 9 am to 5 pm). 

    Best wishes,
