What Does My Ultrasound Scan Report Indicate?
Question: Hi I have XXXXXXX having some heavy period about 9 months now I did an ultra sound and my uterus was clean, the doctor says my womb was inflammed I was given pills to control the bleeding and carry down the swelling I was on meds for 6 months now I went to do my check up last month he say that the swelling is still there are asked me to take Leezole, my period is running full but it very light and im always tired. Can there be something else he is not seeing?
Brief Answer:
No need to take letrozol
Detailed Answer:
Hi dear,
I have gone through your question and understand your concerns.
Heavy bleeding during the periods can be due to hormonal disturbances like thyroid dysfunction, uterine lesions like fibroids or dysfunction of the uterine lining due to hormonal changes, endometrial hyperplasia or carcinoma.
If you are relieved by tranexemic acid and mefenamic acid, then there is no need to take letrozol.
Inflammation of the uterus cannot be assessed by ultrasound, and if present, antibiotics should be given to treat it.
I will suggest you get an endometrial biopsy done to confirm the diagnosis, if the heavy bleeding recurs, and get the treatment accordingly.
Hope you found the answer helpful.
Wishing you good health.
