Endometrial Biopsy - Cancer: Uterine Message Board

DAVIS · 09-10-2005, 09:43 PM

Hi everyone. First time to the board so forgive me if i'm asking a duplicate questions here. I'm a 32yo went to dr last tues for prolonged periods (9days - light bleeding), and pain that is getting worse, tender abdominal at times, pain with intercourse ( that can last up to an hour after). Dr is checking my blood for anemia and thyroid problems. After pelvic exam (which was very painful) ordered a u/s for thursday to check thickness of lining. When asked he said if thin lining we'd find out why uterus was inflammed and if thick we'd discuss that later. Well- went for u/s and was told to come back in 2wks. When I asked why the u/s tech said they are doing an biopsy and that u/s showed thick lining, and no large fibroids seen. I have a family history of fibroids-mom@36yo, and precanerous uterus-grandmother@29yo. I'm a bit (well- more than a bit) nervous about this all. and ya- last night after intercourse (without orgasm) started contractions that lasted on and off till 11am next morning. Any comments are appreciated.
thanks

I went for a u/s a couple weeks ago. I was bleeding very lightly for days..not period time, and docctor wanted to check lining also. I had an ablation a couple years ago, which is where they put hot fluid inside and burn the lining of your uterus...which means I should have a a thin lining. Ultra sound showed only 2-3 itsy bitsy cysts on my right ovary..said they would prob go away by themselves, but I am going in for a biopsy the 15th just for precautionary...my mom died of uterin cancer in 1969....so I'll keep you posted.................good luck to you!!

Dear Flinkrock,
Good luck on your test today. Let me know how it went and all. I'll be praying for you.

Your prayers worked!! Everything went fine...Procedure made me cramp some. doc gave me a shot of lanicane in that area....uh!! but it must have helped cause I didn't have any cramping or pain when I got home. Just a little bleeding...she gave me a pain pill to take before I went and that was the only thing I didn't like. Pain pills don't agree with me...so I am still wearing off from that and it's 10:20 p.m.!! All went well. Should know results by Wednesday....I don't foresee any problems though!! Thanks for the prayers...I love them!!!
