Pelvic Ultrasound Showed Thickened Endometrial Echo Complex. Is This Serious?
Question: Hi, I have recently had a pelvic ultrasound and the results said that i have a thickened endometrial echo complex, maximum depth of 25mm and there is a 26mm hypoechoic focus within it. Is it urgent that I get this followed up as We have a holiday planned in 2 weeks and will be away for 4 weeks or should I cancel our holiday and follow this up urgently
Hi XXXXXX,
Thanks for posting your query.
Your endometrium is quite thick & it is containing hypoechoic lesion also.
It is better that you get endometrial biopsy done that is a day care procedure before going for your holiday.
Endometrial biopsy is a confirmatory test to rule out any uterine pathology & if every thing comes normal, you can be tension free to enjoy your holiday.
I hope your query has been answered. I will be available to solve your further queries.
Regards,
Dr.Monika

Does it make any difference if i am still having regular periods with no spotting in between?
Also it would be ok to get just a biopsy done in Doctors office rather than a D & C?

Hi XXXXXX,
I am happy to know that you are having regular periods with no spotting, but still for prophylactic purpose you should undergo biopsy.
D + C & biopsy are done simultaneously, first by doing D&C thickened endometrial tissue is removed from all uterine layers & after completion of procedure endometrial tissue( biopsy material) is sent for histopathological examination to rule out any pathology.
I hope your query has been answered.
