Endometrial biopsy

I had a biopsy on 8/3 due to post menopausal bleeding that started in September 2023. I am still waiting for the results, and today have started bleeding again which is worrying me. FYI I’m 63yo, went through my menopause age 30. When should I expect a result of the biopsy? Tia 

  • I had a Hysteroscopy on the 28/02 and am still awaiting results - they said up to six weeks. Hope you get your results soon and they get you sorted. 

  • Hello CoidF1 and thanks for posting

    I am sorry to hear you are experiencing some post menopausal bleeding and appreciate this is a worrying time for you.

    Unfortunately due to the pressures on most NHS services many patients are needing to wait longer than ideal for test results. In a perfect world people on a suspected cancer pathway would get results within 2-3 weeks but we are hearing this is taking often longer than this at the moment.

    I'm afraid we can't say when you should expect to hear something. I suggest calling the hospital if you haven't already to ask if the results are in and if not how long you may need to wait still. Also let them know that you are having some more bleeding. 

    Please get back to us if you need any more information or support.  You may find it helpful to talk things through with one of the nurses on our helpline.  The number to call is Freephone 0808 800 4040 and the lines are open from 9am till 5pm Monday to Friday.

    Best wishes,

    Naomi
