Hope there is someone who can give me some advice. I am a 54 yr old fem ale who feels heathy and looks well exceot for being over weight. 5 yrs ago my periods stopped. No problems at all. Then last year I started to have bleeding. Eventually had a D & C which came back fine. Had the problem again last May went back to he doctor and went for a scan. My doctor phoned me this week to say that my uterus lining was to thick for someone over 50 which was what I was told last year, did not ask if was any thicker than last year which was 7 mm. Now she want to refer me back to the hospital, and I'm scared it could be cancer. Any thoughts anyone.

Thanks for reading this

I did have two D & Cs last year, two polyps were removed on the first one but they did'ent find cancer or pre cancerous cells on the second one. Had slight bleeding since but Dr don't seem to be be to concerned about it now. Feeling well and happy. Hope you are all doing fine.

That's good news! Your thickening uterine lining is usually not a cause to be too concerned. I've had two D&C's; thickened lining; with multiple polyps removed over the past 6 years and just had a hysterectomy because they grew back again....best thing I ever did! Life is wonderful every day of the month!

I was holding out for menopause, but at almost being age 52, and no hormone changes in sight, I gave in and only had the uterus removed...I feel blessed to feel just like I always have and no problems whatsoever post-op.

Not saying you should have a hysterectomy, I just wanted to express my thoughts that there is a light at the end of the tunnel if you so choose.
