What is a closed cervix caused from?

Posted , 8 users are following.

My lining is double the thickness it should be for a post menopausal woman. I went for a hystero scope today and D&C at hospital. I as well have fibroids and cyst in rt. Ovary. Have been going 4 times a year (three years now) for vaginal ultrasounds to keep eye on them. I'm terribly confused and dissappointed the procedure today could not be done. Was told my cervix is flat. Could not get inside to do D&C or hyster oscopy. Will talk further about what's next in few weeks. Very concerned why I couldn't be dialate today. Anybody ever hear of this or go through it?

    Hi Kathleen

    I had to go for a d an c about 6 yrs ago following a bleed an went under anaesthetic when I came around I was told that it could not be done as my cervix was closed tightly I was sent recently for a scan following the death of my Auntie from Ovarian cancer as I requested this due to unusual pains . The scan came back that my womb was getting very thick so I had to get an hysteroscopy this week an was told that I have to wait until 17th August for my results After leaving my apt I wished I would of asked what makes your womb thicken and why as I do not know x U take care an lots of love x

      Hi Carolrd...I didn't have the hysteroscopy. Nor the D&C. Very very dissappointing after the pretest a week before. I will discuss what next options are on Aug. 18th. Thank you for asking. How are they getting a biopsy if your cervix is closed?

      My gyn said he can "dialate it" and he said there is an opening somewhere and he can follow through with a camera now if he is talking about the cericx tunnel I'm not sure. He's doing that as out patient in  OR Aug 11th. He said he can also give you a pill like they give pregnant women that will open up the uterus thats if he would of tried again in the office. Now he did say he has had 4 cases where he could NOT get to the uterus and had to refer them out somewhere.
