Hi Ben,

Thank you I appreciate it. I have a follow up tomorrow, which is a bit unusual because normally I have to chase for results and she called me the Monday after my scan to organise it. I don't know at the moment what I would find worse either they tell me it needs investigating or I have to fight to get it double checked!

thanks for your time

Hi, 

Did you find out what slightly heterogrnous meant? 

I have hyperplasia of 9mm on my scan today that is showing "endometrium appears slightly heterogenous in echotexture." 

In July this was 15mm and echogenic

 I am now so anxious and have reached out for answers from mu consultant but just wondering of your outcome. 

Hi, 

Tbank you so muchfor coming back to me. 

Oddly I was put on the mini pill and have done nothing but bleed since. They have now put me.on the progestereone harmone the one that is not a mini pill. Because of all the bleeding. 

I wonder if it's due to losing clots then? If I have shed some parts and not others. I have asked my gyne to review the scan as dr at hospital said not to worry. 

I was biopsied and diagnosed with hyperplasia a few months ago and been on Noriday but all I did was bleed. 

I really hope you hear something and get sorted soon, and thanks again for your help. 

No probs at all!

My dr has finally done my referral so Im hoping they investigate for hyperplasia now. Do you have regular checks on yours? I think I read somewhere on here that they test it once a year.

I was taking tranexamic acid for heavy bleeding and it really helped, not sure if its something your dr could give you.

all the best

So far I have a follow up in December, only say original appt in August. I have had another scan and the hyperplasia has reduced from 15mm to 9mm so in ways I'm a little optomistic. 

I had the TVUS repeated in hospital stay for heavy bleeding and have had tranexamic acid through IV which really helped. 

The TVUS was reassuring apart from the change in the way the endometrium appears. The hospital DR wasnt concerned, but also wasn't sure what it meant. I came home but have asked for my gyne to come back to me with advice. 

Thanks for taking time to reply, it may be worth chasinh up? I was constantly on the phone to them and still am. 

All the best. xx

Thats good that they are keeping an eye on things. That defo sounds like a move in the right direction! 
 

When I asked about the hetrogenous bit, he said to me most likely its Adenomyosis, so that could be the case. 
 

Yeah I think I will do, its already taken two weeks for them just to send the referal lol!
