Hi Becs and thanks for your post

I'm sorry you are worried about your health.

I’m afraid no one on here will be able to tell you what may be the matter. Only doctors can make a diagnosis and they often need test results to get to the bottom of things. Waiting for hospital appointments when you are worried is stressful.

I imagine your GP made a non-urgent referral for you to see a NHS gynaecologist.  People who have non urgent appointment can wait a few months to  be seen on the NHS. The only way that you can be seen more quickly if your GP thinks that you need to be seen urgently and makes the referral. In this situation it can take 2 to 4 weeks to be seen.

Some people will choose to go private (if they can afford this option) and can ask to be referred to a private gynaecologist or they will try and see if they can make an appointment at a private hospital locally themselves, without a GP’s referral.

We always encourage people to go back and discuss their symptoms with their GP, especially if they are persisting or getting worse and see what their advice is, and ask if you need to be seen more urgently.

I hope you know more soon. Give us a ring if you would like to talk things over. The number to call is Freephone 0808 800 4040 and the lines are open from 9am till 5pm Monday to Friday.

Kind regards,

Celene
