Hello,
Thank you for your query.
This report indicates that the lining within the
uterus (endometrium) is thicker than expected.
*how old is your mother?
*does she still get her period? If not, when did it stop?
*how many children does she have?
*any previous surgery?
*does she have any other medical issues or take any medications?
*does she have any bleeding or abdominal pain?
*why was this scan done?
*has she had any
weight loss or fatigue?
The reports suggests either a blood clot or an increased growth (abnormal) of the endometrium.
I recommend :
-an
OBGYN consult
-pap smear
-blood tests (
complete blood count)
-repeat
ultrasound after 3 months or sooner if there is any unusual vaginal bleeding.
- a D&C (
dilatation and curettage), if indicated after each months or sooner if there is bleeding
The report suggests a repeat scan and a consult with her OBGYN.
Please make sure you discuss all options with her doctor. The trend is to advise surgery as a prevention of cancer but that is not necessary unless there is evidence that it could be cancer or develop into one.
Get a second or even a third opinion, if required.
Sometimes during
menopause and a for a few years after, endometrium can be thick. Examining this and keeping a close eye on it by regular follow up is important.
Based on this report alone, a diagnosis cannot be made.
So don't worry, just consult an OBGYN.
Hope this helps. Please let me know if there is anything else I can help you with.
Wish you good health
