hi there,
i am glad that you are getting some evaluation. I assume that an internal scan is the pelvic ultrasound. this test is good for looking at the size of the uterus. One will see fibroids which are benign muscle growths that can distort the uterine shape and cause heavy menstrual periods. The ultrasound can also see if the inner lining of the uterus is thick. A normal endometrial lining is less than 8 mm but it can vary depending on where you are in your cycle.. If the lining is thicker than that, it can represent polyps or growths inside the uterus.

With your bleeding pattern, I would recommend getting a biopsy of the lining of your uterus. some GPs do that but usually you have to see a gynecologist.

take care

I have always been a reg 28 day person. However this year has been crazy.I went to a GP and he sent me for an internal scan and said women

Hi There,
It sounds like you need to see a gynecologist. You need a good physical exam, pap smear, and possibly a biopsy of the uterus. Depending of the physical exam, sometimes an ultrasound to look for fibroids is reasonable
best wishes
