Patient's Query

Hi doctor,

My mother, who is 50 years, has been complaining of painful uterine contractions. We took her to the doctor and she prescribed Urispas tablets. Also, told us to follow up once her period finishes as her endometrium thickness was abnormal. We did the follow up and I have attached the USG report. She has also been complaining of bloating and heaviness below the stomach area. Please do advice me on what modes of action should be taken. Is this something to worry about?

Hi,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I have seen your mother's reports (attachment removed to protect patient identity) and gone through her history.

In my opinion her USG is fine and showing some small fibroids.The symptoms that she is facing could be due to urinary tract infection or cystitis (inflammation of urinary bladder wall). She should get her urine culture and sensitivity test done to rule out the infection and for further management.

Patient's Query

Thank you doctor,

What can be done about the fibroids? Is her endometrium lining thickness abnormal?

Answered by Dr. Richa Agarwal

Hi,

Welcome back to icliniq.com.

The fibroids are small in size. If there are no symptoms, then no treatment is required. Yes, her endometrial thickness should be less than 8 mm at her age. It is a little bit high, but not very high. It could be due to fibroid also.

Patient's Query

Hi doctor,

Please go through the biopsy report and let me know if there is anything worthy of concern. Thanks a lot.

Answered by Dr. Richa Agarwal

Hi,

No need to worry about it. Your reports are perfectly fine and it is showing secretary endometrium which is not a problem.

Hope you found useful. Good luck. Regards.

Same symptoms don't mean you have the same problem. Consult a doctor now!
