What Does My Vaginal Ultrasound Report Indicate?

Posted on Tue, 3 Oct 2017

Question: Hi.

I am 49 yrs old. I have an vaginal ultrasound and my Dr said in one view my uterine lining was 27mm. He said is most likely a polyp because of the appearance of it. I don't bleed between periods but my periods are heavy. I am freaking out thinking is the word C.

Any feedback?

Brief Answer:
Biopsy advised

Detailed Answer:
Hi dear,
I have gone through your question and understand the concerns.
When the uterine lining is more than 20 mm, it is most likely to be pathological , either polyp, hyperplasia or carcinoma.
It is always advisable to get a biopsy done to confirm the pathology so that the treatment is initiated timely. Biopsy can be done by endometrial biopsy curette or can be hysteroscopic guided biopsy.
I will suggest you to go for the biopsy as soon as possible.
Hope you found the answer helpful.

I have some symptoms of discomfort and urge to go to the bathroom and bloating few days before to have the period. I didn't have that before. Are those symptoms of polyps or hyperplasia ? Sorry for some many questions. I'm just scared.

Thank u.

Due to hormonal disturbances

Hi dear,
Yes, it can be due to hormonal disturbances which lead to such symptoms and also lead to endometrial changes like polyp or hyperplasia.
Do not be scared.
A biopsy will confirm the diagnosis and you should get it done as soon as possible.

Hi again.

I received the biopsy result and my dr. said it wasn't enough cells or tissue to have a diagnosis (inconclusive).

Is that bad?

We have to do it again. Ugh.Hi

Answered by Dr. Deepti Verma (8 hours later)

Brief Answer:
Repeat biopsy advised

Detailed Answer:
Hi dear,
If there was insufficient tissue found , then it is recommended to go for a repeat biopsy.
I know it is painful and frustating to get it done again, however it is always advisable to get it repeated so that the diagnosis can be confirmed.
