What Does This Ultrasound Indicate?
hello doc ,
my mother , 61, was having very very light bleeding every month since last two three months . My gynea suggested a pap smear and TV ultrasound . Ultrasound shows ovaries and uterus normal , no mass and leasions , bladder is also fine but daignosis given is 'prominent endometrium'. Can you tell me what does this mean ? Pap smears is still pending .

Welcome to health care magic.
1.In a women in her age of 61 years post-menopausal the endometrial thickness should be thin some where about 4-5mm, any thing more that 8-10mm can be suspicious.
2.Thickened endomtrium will be seen in case on inflammatory changes, polyps, endometrial growth.
3.In this case a swab taken from the endometrium will be helpful to evaluate the cause.
4.I would recumbent to get the pap smear done as scheduled.
5.The report also indicates rest of the scan appears normal, initially hormonal treatment will be given, followed by endomerial swab / scraping.
Good luck.
Hope i have answered your query,
any thing to ask ? do not hesitate to ask.
