do i need a hysterectomy .
my doctor found an 18mm n thickening on my overies do i need to worry im 52 no perios in two years
Do you mean an 18mm thickening of your uterine lining? That would make more sense. When post-menopausal women have a thickened lining, doctors typically want to do an endometrial biopsy to check for "abnormal" cells - hyperplasia or cancer. This is an in office procedure that takes some tissue from the uterine lining and sends it to pathology for biopsy.
No need to freak out though because endometrial (uterine) cancer is rare and if its precursor (hyperplasia) is found, hormonal medication (progestins) are usually effective at curing it. And even if it is not present, medication can be given to shed the lining so you don't get hyperplasia.
I hope this helps!
What did your doctor say?
