thickening of uterine lining post menopause.

Feb 16, 2008 03:36PM - 1 comments

Has anyone out there had breakthrough bleeding combined with a thickening of the uterine lining post menopause that has NOT been diagnosed as cancer?  I would really like to know if there is a chance that I don't have cancer.  My uterine lining measures 6 mm and I am told it should not measure more than 4 mm.  I am scheduled for a biopsy next week.  Thanks, Lenore

My mother is about the same age and is experiencing the same thing although she was taking bioidentical hormone (pellets that are implanted). She stopped in May, but the doctor observed a thickening and she has had it biopsied and is waiting for the results of an ultrasound. She is not concerned about any negative results right now, but believes if she resumes bioidentical and then stops for a brief period in order to menstruate, that the lining will not continue to thicken. Her gynecologist told her that she should not take the bioidentical at all - but my mom does not believe that taking it the right way will produce more negative results. She is meeting with the doctor who treats her with bioidentical after receiving the results of the ultrasound. I think taking every measure possible to rule out any negative outcomes is smart on your part, and unfortunately we have to take our health into our own hands most of the time and be responsible patients.
