Hi, i've just joined and thought i might get some help as i am very worried...i went for a scan today and they said i had thickening in the womb...i stupidly googled it and now i'm thinking the worse as cancer came up...i only went for the scan because of heavy periods...so heavy i need to take iron tabs as my iron and zinc are low...i just thought it was the start of menopause...anyone else had this and every thing ok! thanks alot!
Hi. Was any further treatment recommended for the thickening in your womb?
HI
My scan came up with the same as yours.I also googled and came up with cancer.I suffer with really heavy periods and after speaking to my gyne I was told it was the start of the menopause.I have fibroids and had a fibrod embolisation three weeks ago and was told by the surgeon that that the thickening in the wombi is the start of the menopause.I'm sure its nothing to worry about but understand your concern.
He just said he will send results to my dr and sort an appointment out with gynogologist thanks Maisie
Thanks Millie thats a relief....i was hoping it was menopause related...never for one minute did i even think about cancer as i always have my smears and there ok
I too have heavy periods and fibroids causing anaemia. I was offered the mirena coil last year which is supposed to help but didn't fancy it. I'm considering hrt now as perimeno symptoms are getting stronger.
Hope you don't have too long to wait for Drs appt
hi iv been suffering from long periods i started in march and finished three days ago now, im going for a scan on friday but im scared iv got cancer to like you,
iv also got a niggling pain in my sides and started with a stomach ach that has been around for a few days and wont stop.
iv been suffering on and off with peri like symptoms since last year but the bleeding was new and iv never gone so many months none stop.
Hope your scan goes well...d196.... hopefully this is just all part of the menopause...its a worrying time though...feel like im falling to bits lol...it's good to talk though isn't it!
Thanks Maisie...i will let u know...i got offered the coil a few yrs ago but din't fancy it either....i'll just try to ride my symtoms out...hot flushed .palpitions headaches....oh the joys
Hi did they tell you what the thickness was? mine was 11mm at mri and I had just finished a course of norethesterone to stop a very very heavy 3 week bleed ! I've had heavy periods for years and also on iron tablets and just recently been diagnosed with endometriosis At 49! So now I know my reason for horrendous periods over the years! I think peri menopause and the start of menopause can really muck us up like our womb linings.im due a hysteroscopy to checks things.the gyno will probably suggest this too let us all know the outcome. Michelle xx
Are you periods heavy all this time ? Mine are extremely heavy every month with clots but recently been diagnosed as having endometriosis and scan showed thick womb lining.good luck xx
hi Michelle, No the dr did not say what the thickness was, he did say he couldn't see anything else like cist...just that i will need to see a gynogologist...i wasn't worried until i googled it though...i have had heavy periods every 18 days i bleed for 5 days...could do with a blood transfusion im sooo tired...i will let u know the outcome....its annoying wen people don't finish there posts with an outcome
Hi masie
What symptoms do you suffer with ?
no my periods are not heavy it started as a normal period after not having one the month before then it tailed off to a pink salmon color and was always there when i wiped and some times blood then brown then if i strained it got worse and i had sex with my husband and that made it worse then it would go back to when i wiped to a pink to red color were i had to wear a tampax as i was geti g sore from wearing pads and panty liners all the time then on a few days it would be a bit heavier then ones i tryed to feel in bath to see if my cervix felt fine and that made it worse, gosh. but i did have a smear a few months back and that came back normal. i dont know whats wrong but its stoped now and im just having a horrid stomach ach that wont go.and im bloated.
also when i had a smear the nurse said there was alot of blood up there.
but still my dr has took all this time to send me for a scan. i think my gp is usless.
Hi Michelle
Gosh, where to start. Early this year I was having palpitations and erratic heartbeat and panicky feelings. Had ecg and heart monitors and all normal. Guess that could be health anxiety. Tiredness, not wanting to go anywhere or do anything, such hard work to motivate myself. But I thought this was all being caused by the anaemia. Then over the last month the night sweats and hot flashes slowly started and crashing fatigue. (I've just woke up after crashing on settee) couldn't help it. Brain fog. Bloatedness. I've put weight on round my middle and had the rib pains, can't stand wearing a bra! One thing I don't have is headache which I'm grateful for.
The night sweats are really bad now, waking every hour, then shivering.
I'm trying different alternatives as suggested on here but I'm probably not giving them long enough to work. There's so much to choose from it gets confusing what to try. I've just today had sage and passionflower delivered so thats what I'm going with at the moment. I take Co enzyme Q10 for brain function and biotin for hair and I've been using meno pace.
I've been following your posts and symathize with all you are going through, you are very brave. I was so glad when I found this site and am able to talk with others suffering similarly. And the positiveness from some who've found relief.
Love and hugs
I was taking omeprazole for over a year for bloating and excessive gas, huge burps, embarrassing! But thats how I found this site, googling side effects. The same symptoms I've described can be attributed to omeprazole and it also inhibits absorption of iron. Why my doctor didn't know this I don't know!
I stopped taking it 2 months ago and so far managing with careful diet and rennies.
I have suffered with beavy periods since i startes them but in the last yeat they got to the point that i was flooding my shoes full after standing sometimes and having to get up due to flooding actually waking me up 2 or 3 nights a period. And the clots....sometimes feels like i am passing a basebalk....lovely while standing in line at the atore. This lasted for months but is now starting to ease up. I finallt statted taking iron pills and they have really helped.
I have the same thing and I'm post menopause I'm scared horrible too ! I have a biospy scheduled for Aug 2. Mine measured 9mm :-( My was found by transvaginal ultra sound , what type of scan was yours? Are you menopause ? What are they doing for you next and when?
I'm having a period like yours right now dear doe 😁😁clots size of tennis balls !!! Stops and starts it's awful and I've always suffered too flooding every month and first two nights up on the hour every hour with a beach towel on my bed !!!! I take iron tablets too and Dr put me on progesterone xx
