A transvaginal ultra sound has shown a 1cm polyp, free fluid in my uterus and a 20mm lining thickening. The consultant wants to do a hysteroscopy under GA in 3 weeks. From what I’ve read a thickening of 20mm of nor is automatically considered precancerous. I’m 52 post menopausal, obese and have PCOS the reason for referal was my new GP noticed I had been given the wrong type of progesterone for last 6 years as part of hrt putting me at higher risk. My tablets were changed and I had 2 heavy bleeds days apart My question is due to my anaesthetic risk and prognosis can I just cut to the chase and go straight for a hysterectomy? I don’t want to be at risk twice for what is an inevitable outcome without further delay. Do I have this choice? I have moderate hearing loss and find any hospital experience totally nerve racking, masks and strong accents make aiding my hearing with lip reading impossible, even more so when coming out of anaesthesia (my previous 2 GA experiences I’ve had to be given sedation post op due to distress/aggression I experience) I feel like the hysteroscopy is added risk and delay but I’m expected to just go along with it.
