Ultrasound results

Has anyone else been told they have fluid in the uterus and thickend lining of the uterus??? What causes this???

[Miwa]

Hi. I have free fluid in the uterus. This is caused by endo.

[Kazww in reply to Miwa]

What are your symptoms please?

[Miwa in reply to Kazww]

Well my endo was all over my pelvis, around my liver, and gall bladder, bowel and bladder until I had total peritoneal excision to remove it all. Prior to the surgery i had pain prior to and during my period to a point where i could not walk very well, pain around ovulation time. I had really bad fatigue, difficulty conceiving, pain during sex, opening my bowels and difficulty emptying my bladder. Out of them its difficult to say which stems from the free fluid. x

Was it picked up on ultrasound?? Nothing was mentioned when I got my results other than thickend uterus lining and fluid that shouldn't be there I've also got a swollen belly and my face keeps swelling up x

[Miwa]

It was. Endo is not picked up well via ultrasound. When i had an ultrasound it didn't pick up any endo, even though i had stage 4! x

[Kazww in reply to Miwa]

So how did you get diagnosed? X

[Miwa]

I had a laparoscopy operation. X

[Kazww in reply to Miwa]

And that found the endo? What results did you get from your ultrasound please?

[Miwa]

Yes they found the endo in the laparoscopy operation and I got my diagnosis then. The ultrasound only showed free fluid in the uterus. X

Thank you where was your pain before you were diagnosed please? Xx

[Miwa]

It was mainly in my lower abdomen, but I also had backache too xx

[Kazww in reply to Miwa]

Did you have any swelling? Sorry for all the questions xx I have really bad constant pain in both hips x

[Miwa]

Sorry to hear that you are in constant pain in both of your hips. No I didn't get any swelling, but everyone is different with their symptoms. Don't worry about asking lots of questions, I'm happy to help xx

Thank you so much you are such a lovely person it really held to find someone who can relate to some of my symptoms it's such a worrying time. I am 39 I have had my kids I would have a hysterectomy tomorrow if it would take the pain away. I can not believe how 6 weeks ago I was fine other than painful heavy periods. Xx

[Miwa]

Hey, it's a pleasure. That was how I started when I was 18. I'm now 40. It started with a very heavy period that didn't stop for three months with lots of pain completely out of the blue. I know how worrying it can be as you just want to know. what have the doctors said about your ultrasound are they planning on doing any more investigations? Xx
