Hi everyone, I hope someone can help, I would like to know if all this below is normal?

I have had pelvic pain since last October, like a constant stitch and period type pains all through the month, my periods are horrendous, although I am starting to go through the change. I lose a lot of blood during a period which come every 22-25 days and I have a lot of clots. I had a scan last year, nothing to report only that they couldn't find my left ovary. I have a few health issues which I wont bore you will, but whilst under investigation for blood problems I had a PETCT scan and it showed activity on my ovaries (and my bone marrow). So last week I was sent to have a TA and TV ultrasound to investigate my womb and bits again. Last period 7 days before. This time they found clusters of Nabothian cysts, the endometrium was very thickened and heterogeneous measuring 15.2mm and an area of mixed echos at the fundus measuring 17.5mm x 16mm the left ovary contained a 17x14mm dominant follicle. My doctor suggested a clot or polyp and said to maybe have a coil fitted which I have no intention of having I have not had a good experience with them. I have had 3 miscarriages (24-30 years ago), lots of D&C's and 2 births with normal children, but far from normal pregnancy and births. I have had several operations as I had a prolapse after my first son and needed a C-section with my second son. Now this is all happening with constant pain, looking pregnant at 50 and awful periods, I just want it all taken away.

My doctor is arranging a hysteroscopy and I don't want to be awake with it. I am at a loss with what to think, is it normal to have a thickening like I have straight after a period? How big do polyps have to be for concern? Do they move them automatically?

Thanks in advance

Hello, so sorry for not replying sooner but I've not been getting notifications of new posts.

I would suggest that you ask for pain relief for the hysteroscopy as many women seem to find them quite painful despite being told that it is not a painful procedure.!!

As I am not medically qualified can I suggest that you check out the Ask Eve service on here of the Eve Appeal website. They are gynae nurses and will be able to give you answers to your questions.

All the best.
