Vaginal Probe Scan Results

My mother of 80 was diagnosed with vaginal atrophy in June after a course of antibiotics,  she had severe stabbing pain in her vagina.. we saw a Private gynae who examined her and this was his diagnosis...her Dr had already requested bloods before she attended her gynae appt , which we were told her ca125 level was high and she neede a fast track scan...this was done a week ago, we have received no call from the Drs, I have just rang and the receptionist has said a routine appt is to be made..nothing face to face over phone at the moment..there were no GPs on site to speak with me . My mum is very fragile and depressed awaiting these results... do I see this is a positive result that its classed as ' routine 'or are the surgeries in such a mess with covid that the result is going to be given over the phone on the appt call on Friday ? I feel so anxious and helpless for mum..she needs a boost ..I have authority to speak on her behalf so will be taking the call on Friday ... has anyone else had a similar experience ? Many thanks 

  • Hello and thanks for posting

    I am sorry to hear about your mother's situation and appreciate this must be a worrying time for you both.

    Waiting for test results can be an anxious time for everyone involved especially when you don't know what is going on. Unfortunately no one on here can diagnose or say what the matter may be either.

    It is good to hear your mother has an appointment for Friday to discuss the results. Whilst I can understand people liking being seen face to face by their doctor there is alot that can be said and done safely and effectively over a telephone call so try not to over think this.

    The doctor will be able to explain what may need to happen next and I'm sure give an opportunity for you to ask any questions you have at the same time.

    I hope everything will be ok for your mother but do get back if you need to. You are also welcome to call the nurse helpline on 0808 800 4040, Monday-Friday 9-5.

    Best wishes to you both
