I was wondering i'm a woman of 51 and I have not had my period for almost a year now with no complications except for some vaginal dryness and occasional sweats that my ob/gyn already told me is common when going through your changes. She asked me to have an ultrasound and it came back I have thickening of the uterus. Everything else right down to the pap test was normal but said she wanted to give me an D&C to due exploratory surgery to make sure there was no cancer in there. I panicked cause I keep reading to do a D&C there should be unusal bleeding and I feel this is an unwanted procedure. Can anyone please help me out and ease my mind here that thickening of the uterine lining is normal and its not really necessary to do a D&C unless I had a problem. Hope someone can answer me please.
