Thick Lining Of Uterus. Done Ultrasound. Prescribed Medroxypr AC. Have I Got Endometriosis?
Hi Doctor
I was late for my last periods and had cramps for 5 days. I went for ultrasound and was told that I had thick lining of uterus. Doctor there, prescribed me Medroxypr AC 10 mg tab for 10 days. I took one at night & the next day I had got my periods. Normally my flow remains for 6-7 days but this time it lasted for 4 days only
as I was not sure whether the lining had shed completely, I took that tablet for 2 more days but then I observed there was lot of heat in my body so I stopped on 7th cycle day. Do you think my uterus had shed all that thick lining during that menstruation cycle? I am little worried thinking whether I will be ovulating this time or I have got endometriosis? Thanks for your help!

Hello,
Welcome to Healthcaremagic.
I had gone through your query and understand your concern.
There are many causes for thikening of inner lining of uterus.
One of them is endometriosis. Some other causes are endometrial cancer, polyposis and multiple small fibroids.
I suggest you to continue medroxpr Ac as per your treating physician advice.
If not not helpful, discuss with your gynecologist regarding further investigations like transvaginal ultra sound and guided biopsy, MRI and CT scan abdomen and pelvis.
Hope this helps.
Please reply for further queries.
Wishing you good health.
