Lower Abdominal Pain, Pain During Urination. Ultrasound Shows Thickening Of Endometrial Stripe. What Does It Indicate?
Hello, I am Danielle. I recently got the results of a ultrasound that said I have a thickening of my endometrial stripe of 1.3 cm. I am experiencing pain in my lower abdomen when any pressure is applied and I also have pain when emptying my badder. What could this be? I have an appointment with my ob on monday and I am nervous. Cancer runs high in my family.

Hi,
Please remember pain is not a feature for cancer unless seconderyly infected. Apart from this according to ACOG norms,endometrial thickness
> 4 mm needs biopsy to exclude cancer.
Your pain in lower abdomen Is mostly due to bladder infection/ inflammation/stone.
- get your urine checked & treated accordingly with a physician's adviced.
The family history suggests to be in contact with an Onchologist
Thanks.
