Scan Shows Womb Thickening, Polyps, Ovarian Cyst. Bleeding Continuously. Should I Be Worried?
I have just had a scan which showed thickening of the womb on the right hand side only (im post menapausal - 3 years since my period) I also have been told I have polyps and an ovarian cyst . I have been bleeding since new year on and off and was admitted to hospital to try and control the bleeding. I am home now but get the impression from the scan person that it did not look good. Should i be worried

Hello, Thanks for the query,
Post menopausal bleeding with bulky uterus is something to be concerned about.
I recommend you to:
1 Get a Ultrasonography done for ET(endometrial thickness)
2 Followed by hysteroscopic directed biopsy which is the best investigation to rule out endometrial hyperplasia.
Treatment is to get polypectomy done followed by histopathological examination.
Hope this helps.
