Suggest Treatment For Uterine Fibroids
I am post menopausal I had a scan which showed the lining of my womb measured 9 mm and there was some small cystic spaces within my endometrium. I had my pre admission examination which included blood tests hear5t trace etc on 8/7/16 and currently awaiting an appointment to have a biopsy as they could not get enough cells using the pipelle way. I never used HRT. I also have some small fibroids. My smear tests have always been fine and kept up to date. I am quite worried

Hi,
Fibroids present before menopause do disappear in few years after menopause. Small sized fibroids are therefore kept under observation. But fibroids detected after menopause, especially with a cystic space need to be investigated by a biopsy. Please don't worry even if something is found abnormal, they may advise hysterectomy at the most.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
