What Causes Increased Endometrial Thickness And Enlargement Of The Uterus?

Had three ultrasounds over last 3 months because of extreme bleeding for 3 days of my period! Ultrasounds showed my uterus with thick lining and enlarged as if I was 16 weeks pregnant and some good size cysts. Today the put a scope in my uterus found no cysts, no polyps, and no enlarged uterus. Said all looked normal. They did a dnc and said tissue samples be back in two weeks, I am 49 in July. How can ultrasounds show this, but once inside it s all normal?

Hi I think ultrasound is just an approximation of the size of uterus, but on laparoscopy you get to know the actual picture. So, wait for the report. It will tell you if there is any endometrial pathology. You can take some medicines like tranexamic acid to stop the bleeding. Hope it helps.
