I am 60 years old and have been through menopause 11 years ago.

,I have had lots of bouts of cystitis over the past couple of years but they always came back clear.

Just after christmas i noticed  jelly like sticky discharge which was yellow, then i had green and then finally pink brown  which made me get straight to doctor, She gave me 3 day course antibiotics and I have had no discharge since.

Within a week I had appointment for Ultrasound and then week after a Hysteroscopy appointment.  I went  but opted for  A general anesthetic so I am now waiting for this.  The doctor gave me my results which showed my womb lining is 14mm and explained the scenarios.  Dr said she has me on priority list.. I am Shocked but TBF i had feeling something not right. was expecting polyp or something. My bloods, pap and urine all came back clear.

I have few ongoing symptoms. -

hot flushes during day and night

urinating  couple times during night

slight pelvic cramping and light headed some days for a minute or two.

I am worried in case all my urine infections was anything growing and I have left too late to go to doctors.

Worried sick and wonder how long I will have to wait to get my Hysteroscopy under General. 

Thanks for reading this and I hope you can maybe give me some hope. x

  • Hello Lola60 and thank you for posting,

    Waiting for tests and test results can be stressful and anxious, and it is easy to overthink things.

    There is no right or wrong way to deal with this situation. For some people, keeping busy and carrying on with daily activities such as working or meeting friends can be helpful. For others, this doesn't help.

    Having a lot of urine infections is not a common sign of womb cancer, so try not to be too hard on yourself and you did the right thing by getting checked as soon as you noticed the discharge.

    I hope you hear soon from the hospital about your appointment and that you have friends and family that you can lean on during this time.

    In the meantime, if you would like to talk things through with one of our nurses on the helpline we are available between 9am and 5pm Monday to Friday and the freephone number to call is 0808 800 4040.

    Take care,

    Jemma
