I had a myomectomy surgery five months ago to remove fibroids and now I'm trying to conceive. Recently, I got a follicular scan done on day 10 of my cycle, and the report showed echogenic endometrium. What does echogenic endometrium mean? Does it indicate my uterus hasn't fully healed yet? My endometrium thickness was 8.2mm is that normal for this stage?
An "echogenic endometrium" on a follicular scan means the uterine lining appears brighter or more reflective on ultrasound, indicating it may have some tissue or structures that are not typically present at that stage of the menstrual cycle. While a 5-month period is generally considered a sufficient healing time after myomectomy, the uterus is still recovering, and an echogenic endometrium could be linked to residual scarring or tissue changes from the surgery. An 8.2mm endometrium thickness at day 10 of your cycle is generally considered within the normal range for this stage.

I'm having this really annoying itch every day around my varginity area, and it's so disturbing. Plus, I think it's turning into some kind of infection because now I'm also experiencing a urinal infection. What could be causing this, and how can I get it treated?
Consult a gynecologist for a thorough evaluation and treatment; in the meantime, maintain good hygiene, avoid scratching, and apply topical creams or ointments like clotrimazole or miconazole to alleviate itching and infection symptoms.
