Question 1

my reports say hypertrophied myometrium. midline endometrial. what does it mean?

Accepted Answer

Ultrasound report?: I am assuming (which can be dangerous), that this was an ultrasound report. If so, the "thickened" smooth muscle of the uterus(adenomyosis) is evident which is more common in women who have had children. The endometrium, or lining of the uterus, is shown to be in the middle of the uterus where it is supposed to be located.

Question 2

what is element hypertrophy?

Accepted Answer

Hypertropphy: Just means that something is increased in size.  For example lots of weight lifting leads to muscle hypertrophy.

Question 3

what is facet hypertrophy?

Accepted Answer

Arthritis: The spine has disks and facet joints at each level.  The disks in the front of the spine begin to wear initially.  This is followed by loss of height at the disk and then the facet joints begin to wear out. The body builds bone spurs around the joint which is facet hypertrophy in an attempt to stabilize the joint.  This is typical of arthritis in hips, knees, knuckles etc.

Question 4

what is endometrial pathology?

Accepted Answer

Lining of uterus: The endometrium is the lining of the uterus that changes throughout the menstrual cycle to prepare for the possibility of a pregnancy. Pathology means "the study of disease", so endometrial pathology could refer to any abnormality of the endometrium. When a sample is taken from the endometrium by biopsy or curettage, the specimen is examined by a pathologist for cancer or other changes.

Question 5

is an endometrial stripe of 6 mm bad ?

Accepted Answer

6mm: would generally be considered normal.

Question 6

how effective are endometrial ablations?

Accepted Answer

Mostly: There are several different companies that have endo ablation devices, each with varied success.  Some women's periods completely stop, while others periods are significantly decreased, and some get no help from ablations.  I suggest you talk to your ob/gyn for more information.

Question 7

is endometrial thickness of 0.66mm normal?

Accepted Answer

Endometrium: If you are 21 years old, an endometrial thickness of .66cm is normal. If you are post-menopausal, it is too thick.

Question 8

what does endometrial thickness 1.2 cm mean?

Accepted Answer

Menopause status: In a woman who is not of the age of menopause and has menstrual periods this is a normal finding - in a woman of menopausal age, who does not have menstrual periods anymore, an endometrial thickness of 12 mm (1.2 cm) may require sampling of tissue from the uterus.

Question 9

is an endometrial stripe of 0.6cm thick normal?

Accepted Answer

The thickness: of the endometrium varies throughout a woman's cycle. It is thickest just before menstruation, but in general, anything under 1 cm is considered normal. Hope this helps!

Question 10

can fluid in your endometrial lining cause pain?

Accepted Answer

Depends: If the fluid is there because of an infection, then there would likely be pain as well.  The fluid itself can cause crampy pain if there is enough to create pressure inside the uterus.
