Hello! I am 41 years old and I am waiting to find out if my thick uterine lining, fibroid and possible polyp are cancerous. I was diagnosed with unknown infertility in my 20's and have always had regular periods. Just in last year, I went to the ER for blood in my urine and severe pain. Since then, for the past 10 months the urologist and gynecologist had me taking Macrobid for UTIs. A bladder scope was done in December showing no signs of bladder infection or irritation in my urethra. Finally, I found a new PCP who examined Monday for pelvic pain with very unusual discharge, after my period and during ovulation. My PCP said the discharge us not normal ad I needed an ultrasound immediately. Had one done Monday as well and that is when I was told I had a polyp, fibroid and thick uterine wall. My concern is I had an ultrasound done in December 2016 and it came back normal. There are no cysts on my ovaries. I have had white, pasty discharge for the past two months, was treated for yeast infection. Tried Metrogel for vaginitis. All cultures come back negative and this past month I have had giant clumps of discharge with blackish brown chunks in it with pain. Blood work is perfect, my periods are now four days instead of seven. I am adopted, too, and have no idea what my medical history. I am getting a second one opinion next Wednesday. I am at my wit's end and find this forum very informative and helpful.

I have had horrible painful, heavy bleeding for at least a year. I had aye transvaginal ultrasound and they said my endometrium was thickened, I have have a polyp and a cyst. I now have to have to a biopsy. What are the odds this is cancer? The reason for the ultrasound was heavy bleeding and clotting, spotting between periods and clear vaginal "slime"

Thank you all for you brave stories,.....I am barely starting mine....I think we can all agree that regardless of our age, i'm 35, we need to follow our gut. I had always felt like something was wrong but the doctors always said i was fine and my pap smears were normal. My recent visit with a doctor in another country proved them wrong. I had all kinds of test on my first visit including thyroid, breast and cervical ultrasounds, pap smear. He found some abnormalities and and thickening of the endometrial lining. I was given a treatment to treat the cyst wth mucus found on my cervix and i will return to have a Hystoroscopy. The doctor took his time and he performed the test himself and explained everything.. It is sad that in some countries it goes by 1-2 next kind of system where we are rushed in and out.. So push for more testing, regardless of your age, or symptoms as insignificant as they may seem.. Best wishes to all hope everyone's is well.....

I am 41 years old, I was diagnosed with polycystic ovarian syndrome when I was 23, my menstrual cycle has been few and far between. For the past 4 months I have bled on and off with different shades of blood from pink to red to brown. I visited my doctor last month and had blood tests done all came back normal, had a cervical swab done also came back normal. I have pain in my lower abdomen and it really hurts when my bladder is full. I am due to attend the hospital next month. Has anyone had similar ? And could it be cancer ? Thanks

I don't know if I have cancer but I believe I will be finding out soon.  I believe I do.  My symptoms are heavy periods, huge blood clots...Like almost the size of my palm(not always but enough to make me slightly anemic).  Watery bloody discharge, thickened endometrium even after period has ended.  No fibroids, no polyps.  I just got my last imaging done before setting up a date for surgery to look in there and get a biopsy done.  My right ovary started out with a complex cyst which ruptured about 4yrs ago for 3-4menstrual cycles.  Now that ovary still has the same complex cyst but now with several other cysts.  Not polycystic...

I'm also dealing with fatigue, I will randomly become moody, I've had left hip pain and swelling.  The hip thing is a mystery because everything is on my right side.  I've gotten sick 3 times in less than a year having to be put on antibiotics withough knowing what infection my body was fighting.  All blood work is normal, hormones levels come back normal, thyroids are normal.  

Has anyone gone through this?  Cancer without fibroids or polyps present?  Or is this Endometrial Hyperplasia??  I feel like the blood in the watery discharge definetly isn't normal.

Menopause at 42 due to trauma. No periods or menopause symptoms for 18 years.

First symptoms we salmon colored discharge, followed by watery discharge.

Weight gain was rapid with 15 pounds gained in less than 2 months although eating/appetite decreased.  Always felt full even if I had not eaten for 8-10 hrs.

January of this year, bleeding began but was unable to see my regular doctor and the walk in clinics only sent me for blood tests.  Once I was able to see my own doctor, had appointment with specialist and ultrasound very quickly.

A total of 2.5 months passed and the bleeding continued.  The biopsy resulted in being told I had Stage 1 Endometrial Cancer and am waiting for the surgery to receive radical hysterectomy.  Hope that this takes care of the issue.
