Question 2

i am 55 with pmb.  endometrial thickness on us was 9mm.  endo biopsy was done showing atrophic endometrium.  lining is supposed to be less than 4mm.  what is the next step?

Accepted Answer

Hysteroscopy: May be considered. The ultrasound findings can be caused by an endometrial polyp (which can bleed). The atrophic endometrium findings can be seen when biopsy did not include the polyp or area of thickening on the ultrasound.

Question 3

does endometrial atrophy cause period like bleeding after menopause?

Accepted Answer

Endometrial bx ?'s: After menopause, an endometrial biopsy might cause more than just "spotting",  as the endometrium may be thicker than usual secondary to sustained estrogen production by the ovaries, but in that case, true menopause would not have occurred.  Ask your gyn physician about a lab test for FSH and serum Estradiol to explain the "period like bleeding".

Question 6

i recently had an endometrial ablation. at the time of the ablation i was on ocp. my surgical note says anteverted and anteflexed 8-week sized uterus, atrophic cavity, normal tubal ostia bilaterally. is this normal?

Accepted Answer

: Yes this is normal when taking oral contraceptive pills which keeps the endometrium minimal in size as part of its pregnancy protective method.

Question 7

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 8

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 9

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.
