Well after some coersing my doc decided that I need a hysteroscopy and biopsy of my uterine lining. he told me to take 3 ibuprofen before coming on that day........is this typically the treatment for this procedure? I am not sure I want to do it if so. Well he added Provera and am already on loestrin24 the bleeding finally stopped.
so procedure date is 4/17, will there be any after pain? I have missed alot of work recently due to this.
Please Let me know,
Pam
Hi There,
I think it must say something different like papillary excresences. that means that within the cyst, there are some solid elements that have a polyp like appearance
Thank you for the information. Can you tell me what it means when the ovarian cyst has papillary muscles on it?? This is really the part that has me worried.
Thank You so much,
Pam
Dear Pam,
You have two separate gynecologic issues going on:
-abnormal bleeding and an associated thickening in the lining of your uterus. You should get a biopsy of the lining to understand what is causing the thickening. it could be due to a polyp or a premalignant change called endometrial hyperplasia or a malignancy of the lining of the uterus. A biopsy can be done in the office or can be done in the operating room. I usually also do a hysteroscopy which is looking inside the uterine cavity (endometrium to make sure I do not miss anything on a blind biopsy. Birth control pills can help slow bleeding but diagnostics are very important
-You have an ovarian cyst. I agree with a repeat ultrasound. if it has not changed it should be evaluated by laparoscopy. I am glad that you stopped smoking!!
take care
I also forgot to mention for many years I have suffered from sudden onset of SEVERE abdominal pain I call it pressure I would rate it 8/10, it incapitates me, with 800mg of motrin and heat I can beome functional in 20-30 minutes. no reason known for this, but if this ovarian cyst is a bad thing then it would all make sense. I used to be faithful at having the yearly gyn check but my beloved ob/gyn Doc died and his partner lost his license and i really just haven't connected with another just yet.
