Im 34!!! Please any advice On thickened endometrium 15.90mm

You are a smart woman for being 'on top' of things. I am much older than you, but I had endometriosis at your age, and ovarian polyps. I wonder if I had undiagnosed Pcos? Hmmm. Anyway, I pushed for a D & C / polypectomy / hysteroscopy rather than having a biopsy done, as I never had kids and am post menopausal, and I wanted to be "put out" rather than endure the pain of them trying to break through my cervix.

A lot of woman in here will mention this to you, and I'll be the first: a very small percentage of woman end up with uterine cancer, and there are a HOST of issues that you may be having, but don't worry about cancer until it's diagnosed. If, and that's a small percentage, it is, we will be here the whole way to support you. Until you get the lab results back, try to take a deep breath. Hugs to you!

The thing is....every woman in this "space" has been through what you're going through. We get it! That said, I can tell you that one of my good "friends" in this site went through the process of biopsies and stress and ended up without cancer. It's happened in here more than once.

We're a "skewed" population as we were all diagnosed with some sort of cancer, but I'll tell you, it's more common to find out you have a polyp, or hyperplasia, or fibroids, or....and that's exactly what I hope is happening for you!

Fortunately, you are getting it checked out.

When I had an extremely painful pap smear--painful to the degree it was nearly intolerable, and I've been getting those for a long time--I was fortunate in that I had some endometrial (uterine) tissue shedding down through my cervix, and it showed some atypical glandular cells. Next, my doctor, who is kind of a robot at times, was going to send me for a biopsy. After the pain of the pap, I thought, "NO F--WAY!" and called a friend of mine who had recently had a D & C owing to an enlarged uterus and a thickening of the "stripe." Anyway, my friend encouraged me to push for the D & C, and the gyn surgeon said, "Um, given some of your issues, I certainly support that."

So, that's how I got what I wanted--mostly, to be in a hospital under sedation, so I would not have pain. Also, with a D & C, they are removing more tissue, and they also did the hysteroscopy (explained well by Denise, as I recall) and had a good look around with the scope. They removed polyps as well.

I had a result in about a week's time, and if you "click" on my name, you can read the whole story. You may find it helpful to read some of our stories. All this said, the most important thing you need to learn right now is to take ONE STEP at a time. Learn patience. This is not a quick fix. Hopefully, after you get your biopsy--whether through an in-office procedure or D & C--you will be free and clear. If, however, you get an issue you need to deal with, you need to figure out how to jump from one lily pad to the next, and not stress about the water in-between, if that makes sense. Keep having a life. Practice self-care.

Hi,

I had a lot of fibroids which was the cause of all my symptoms, however the sono showed 16mm lining which lead to my biopsy and early stage/low grade cancer diagnosis (the first read was pre cancer however Dana Farber saw grade 1 cancer and that was confirmed at surgery). I am 48 though, I think it's much less likely to be cancer for someone in their 30's, but it's always better to get it checked out. Try to have more than 1 place look at the biopsy findings if you can.
